 Figure 5.3. Percentage of total number of classified water bodies with identified significant pressures (left) and impacts (right) for a) rivers, b) lakes, c) coastal waters, d) transitional waters.

Rivers

Lakes

Coastal waters

Transitional waters

Notes:

The percentage is calculated against the total number of classified surface water bodies in member states reporting the specific pressure or impact type (or any pressure or impact for the blue bars). The number of member states included is indicated in brackets. “Hydromorphology” denotes the combination of the aggregated pressure types “Water flow regulations and morphological alterations of surface water“,“River management“,“Transitional and coastal water management“ and “Other morphological alterations“. A water body is defined as affected by any of the pressure types in the figures if it is reported with the aggregated pressure type and/or any of the corresponding disaggregated pressure types. The impact type “Contamination” means surface water bodies with the impact contamination by priority substances and/or contaminated sediment. Swedish surface water bodies where the pressure or impact reporting is considered only to be related to airborne mercury contamination are defined as not affected (see text). See appendix for further details. The impact type “Other impacts” menas surface water bodies with at least one of the impacts “Saline intrusion”, “Elevated temperatures” or “Other significant impacts”.
