2.1.    Main objectives of the assessment of groundwater quantitative status

The current report focuses on presenting and analyzing information around the quantitative status of the European Groundwater Bodies (Groundwater body). The background information has been collected from the WFD RBMPs. Based on the available data, a series of graphs has been produced, with the purpose of classifying the Groundwater bodies according to their quantitative status and identifying the main drivers and pressures. Furthermore, the report touches on the criteria used by the different Member States to classify the groundwater bodies, identifies and groups the response measures (basic and supplementary) adopted by the MS in view of improving the quantitative status by 2015 and beyond, and attempts an assessment of their effectives by linking pressures-state-impacts. A selection of case studies reflecting different management issues is also presented and key messages on actions needed in relation to securing good groundwater quantitative status are reflected.
