Water Framework Directive: Standards, Objectives of the Directive & Transgressions
The Water Framework Directive (WFD; 2000/60/EC) is an EU directive to establish a framework for the protection of all water bodies (including marine waters up to one nautical mile from shore) by 2015. The WFD establishes a programme and timetable for Member States to set up river basin management plans by 2009.

Connections between topic areas Semantic bridges
Semantic bridges connect parts of the graph that would otherwise be more separate. A bridge is a structural signal in this analysis, not a claim that the two topic areas are equivalent.
For Water Framework Directive, one of the stronger structural bridges in this analysis connects Water Framework Directive with Objectives of the Directive. Bridges highlight paths between different parts of the map and can reveal research angles that are easy to miss in a flat list.
