5.4.3.      Hydromorphological pressures and altered habitats

Hydromorphological pressures and altered habitats are reported for a large proportion of classified water bodies in all the water categories, except in coastal waters, where these pressures and impacts are reported for a low proportion of classified water bodies (figure 5.3). The proportions of water bodies exposed to hydromorphological pressures are almost the same as those having altered habitats. In rivers and transitional waters these pressures and impacts are reported for ca. half of all classified water bodies, while in lakes ca. 30% of classified water bodies are affected.
