Groundwater is often seen as cheap buffer resource, which can be used to supply high quality water for economic purposes. Water authorities then may turn to groundwater when the local surface waters are not suitable for use or at times of water stress due to drought events. This puts additional pressures to groundwater. The reporting under the WFD shows that 8 % of the groundwater bodies across Europe are in poor condition (EEA, 2018c).
