6.4.    Saline or other intrusion

For a Groundwater body to be of good status it should be no long-term intrusion of saline (or other poor quality water) resulting from anthropogenically induced sustained water level or head change, reduction in flow or alteration of flow direction due to abstraction.

• About 69% of the RBDs (82 of 119) considered saline or other intrusion in the status assessment, but only 29 of them reported it as significant pressure.
• Nearly all (22) of the 29 RBDs which reported saline intrusion as significant pressure reported that they considered it in the status assessment.
