Six Member States have reported all groundwater bodies at good quantitative status, while Cyprus and Malta have reported the highest proportion of groundwater bodies failing to achieve good quantitative status (Table 5.1). Cyprus and Malta have 57 % and 80 % of their groundwater in poor quantitative status, while both countries are heavily depending on abstracting water from groundwater resources. For instance, Malta abstracts around 60% of total water needs from groundwater resources and similarly almost half of total water abstraction is from groundwater resources in Cyprus[1].

Around 14 Member States reported that between 75 % and 99 % of the total area of groundwater bodies are in good quantitative status, while this ratio was between 50 to 75 % in three Member States.

Table 5.1

Suggestion:

75% - <100%

50 - < 75%

EA: Page 51 – in table 5.1 UK is put in the 75-100% row but I guess this is because of it being UK. England is only about 70% according to narrative

(AT) Please define the classes in the table exactly eg. ≥ 70 and <100 ....
