      description => protected'This paper applies a policy analysis approach to the question of how to effe
         ctively regulate micropollution in a sustainable manner. Micropollution is a
          complex policy problem characterized by a huge number and diversity of chem
         ical substances, as well as various entry paths into the aquatic environment
         . It challenges traditional water quality management by calling for new tech
         nologies in wastewater treatment and behavioral changes in industry, agricul
         ture and civil society. In light of such challenges, the question arises as 
         to how to regulate such a complex phenomenon to ensure water quality is main
         tained in the future? What can we learn from past experiences in water quali
         ty regulation? To answer these questions, policy analysis strongly focuses o
         n the design and choice of policy instruments and the mix of such measures. 
         In this paper, we review instruments commonly used in past water quality reg
         ulation. We evaluate their ability to respond to the characteristics of a mo
         re recent water quality problem, <I>i.e.</I>, micropollution, in a sustainab
         le way. This way, we develop a new framework that integrates both the proble
         m dimension (<I>i.e.</I>, causes and effects of a problem) as well as the su
         stainability dimension (e.g., long-term, cross-sectoral and multi-level) to 
         assess which policy instruments are best suited to regulate micropollution. 
         We thus conclude that sustainability criteria help to identify an appropriat
         e instrument mix of end-of-pipe and source-directed measures to reduce aquat
         ic micropollution.' (1538 chars)
