The main impacts of water abstraction on groundwater bodies are deterioration of the water balance and lowering of the groundwater tables, saline intrusion, enhanced pollution with chemicals and nutrients, and a poor condition of groundwater-associated surface waters and groundwater dependent terrestrial ecosystems. The main impacts of water abstraction on surface water bodies are the alteration of habitats due to hydrological or morphological changes, as well as the enhanced pollution with chemicals, nutrients and organics (EEA, 2018c).
