Based on the analysis of significant pressures and drivers affecting water bodies in the latest RBMPs, ten European key water management challenges have been selected to be presented. Next to describing the main sources and sectoral activities behind key pressures and the main associated impacts, a summary is provided of key measures which are available to tackle these challenges in European countries. Most of the selected pressures and drivers with regard to pollution, hydromorphology and abstractions affect a large share of European water bodies and are reported by a large number of countries. Some others such as mining, navigation, aquaculture and invasive alien species seem to affect a small share of European water bodies, but they can be of high importance and intensity in specific regions of Europe, thus significantly contributing to the failure of achieving good water status on a regional level. The table below summarises the European key water management challenges presented in the report.
