Abstract: |
The Flemish Environment Agency is a public Flemish institution at the service of the population and the political authorities which represent it. VMM reports on the quality of the environment and controls the surface water quality. VMM is responsible for the compilation and publication of the Flanders Environment and Nature Report (MIRA), which deals with all aspects of the environment and nature. VMM investigates the surface water quality and registers of who discharges what, and publishes annual reports on these matters. VMM monitors the quality of ambient air and the ozone levels through a network of air measuring stations. VMM also makes inventories of who discharges what into the atmosphere, makes annual reports on them and also gives advice concerning environmental permits with respect to the air. VMM collects the levy on water pollution and arises the population's awareness of its share in pollution. Therefore, VMM's tasks can be summarised as: Planning, Reporting, Collecting, Informing, Measuring and Advising. The Flemish Environment Agency continuously measures the water quality. It controls the measuring networks for surface water quality and the pollution loads of discharged wastewater. VMM also monitors the bacteriological quality of the bathing water on the beaches and in the ponds. The measurements results are included in a measurement databank, a subsection of the Flemish Environmental Databank. |
