Figure 5.6.  Ecological status or potential of classified river water bodies in different categories of population density (left upper panel) and in different categories of arable land in the river basin (right upper panel) , proportion of classified river water bodies with and without pressures in different categories of population density (left middle panel) and in different categories of arable land in the river basin (right middle panel), proportion of classified river water bodies with hydromorphological or diffuse pressures in different categories of population density (left lower panel) and in different categories of arable land in the river basin (right lower panel). 

Notes: The designation of river water bodies to population or arable land categories is made at RBD level, i.e. all water bodies in the same RBD are in the same category. The number of classified river water bodies in the different population density categories or arable land categories is indicated in brackets. In the pressure plots the member states not reporting the given pressures are excluded from the number of classified water bodies. Swedish surface water bodies where the pressure reporting is considered only to be related to airborne mercury contamination are defined as not affected (see text). See appendix for further details.

    No being a fan of trying to find thresholds or tipping points at the system, let alone the "global boundaries" that are currently being discussed. These data or data from the next round will be very interesting to analyse to look for breakpoints and hopefully better our understanding of resilience to different pressures.
