In principle, the deterioration of the quantitative status of groundwater bodies can be linked with all the above environmental impacts. Even though the link to the different types of pollution (e.g. chemicals, nutrients, organics) may seem less obvious, it is explained by the following fact: Reduced water quantity in groundwater may result in lower dilution of pollutants, which increases their observed concentrations and, subsequently, increases the risk of exceedance of environmental quality standards (EQSs).
