In the last four years, more than 3 000 short-term pollution events have been reported throughout Europe. The number of reported events is increasing – this may also be an indication of more frequently applied management approaches resulting in a larger number of events reported (EEA, 2017c). Although short-term pollution events occur in bathing waters of all kinds of quality, they much more frequently impact bathing waters of ‘poor’ and ‘sufficient’ quality.
