5.4.     Main pressures and impacts affecting ecological status for all water categories

5.4.1.      Water bodies without pressures and impacts

In rivers and transitional waters, low proportions of water bodies are reported without significant pressures (figure 5.3), while somewhat higher proportions are reported to be without significant impacts.  For coastal waters, ca. half of the classified water bodies are reported to be without pressures and impacts.  A majority of lake water bodies are reported without significant pressures and impacts. This pattern is consistent with the differences found between the water categories for ecological status or potential (see section 5.2 above).
