The background information has been extracted from the WFD RBMPs. Based on the available data, a series of graphs has been produced in order to cross-compare and assess the prevailing issues in relation to the quantitative status. The following data have been collected and analyzed:
For the analysis of status and pressures 135 RBDs (the total number uploaded in WISE) have been reviewed, while for the analysis of measures the report focused on the 15 RBDs, namely the ones where significant improvement is expected by 2015.
To complement the report case studies have been selected from the existing literature, while for a European overview of the aquifer types and groundwater resources available EU-wide maps have been retrieved from credible sources.
