4.3 Coherence of sectoral strategies with water policy objectives

In the EU, water bodies are used for a variety of economic activities, among which navigation for trade and transportation, agricultural and industrial processes involving water abstraction, hydropower production, extraction of minerals as well as aquaculture. From the assessment of status, pressures and impacts on European waters (EEA, 2018), it is evident that the driving forces behind the achievement or non-achievement of good status are activities in economic sectors. Recent policy reviews have shown that there is still much scope to further mainstream environmental policy actions into sectors to reduce the driving forces behind aquatic biodiversity loss (Rouillard et al., 2016).
