31. Recognises that the EU policy framework has allowed the collection of less fragmented data on water as well as better monitoring; notes however the lack of reliable data on water quantity, for instance on abstraction and leakage; notes the potential for better data management based on an improvement in statistical information and on the use of data collection stations, the Water Information System for Europe (WISE) and GMES monitoring of the state of water resources and the pressures on them from economic activity; calls on the Commission, in cooperation with the European Environment Agency, to develop a new set of reliable indicators for water accounts; underlines that the knowledge base should integrate the concept of ‘environment ...[+++]al flows’ and take into account the ecosystem services supported by water and the links between climate, territory and underground water resources provided by the water cycle;

34. Considers that the 7th EAP should take into account the provisions of the forthcoming Blueprint on EU Water Policy and stresses the value of a better coordinated approach to water pricing; calls on the Commission, therefore, to facilitate access to solutions to water shortages, water recovery and developing alternative irrigation techniques and to encourage the optimisation of the successive uses of water extracted from the water cycle, including recycling water used for agricultural and industrial purposes where appropriate, and recovering the nutrients and energy contained in waste water;

For example, the bioaccumulation of toxins such as DDT and PCBs has been increasingly detected in the water and food consumed by the Inuit population in the far north. The water cycle carries these contaminants from water sources in the south of the country.

I might be a corn, soybean and wheat farmer, but I am really a manager of carbon and nitrogen cycles — with the interception of the water cycle — to reduce starch, oil, fuel, fibre, energy, protein, while providing animal habitat and improving soil, air and water quality.

First of all, that water is pumped several thousand feet underground and is out of the water cycle permanently.
