Figure 5.3:

For the “No pressures”» and “No impacts” bars, the same member states are removed from the total number of classified water bodies as in figure 5.0. In the other bars, more member states may be removed from the total classified, if they have not reported that specific pressure or impact (for most pressures and impacts the member states can be identified in the member state plots in chapter 4). In some cases the lack of reporting may actually mean that no water bodies in the member state are affected by the specific pressure or impact. If that is the case, these member states should clarify this, as excluding these member states from the number total classified water bodies leads to overestimation of the proportion of water bodies affected by the specific pressure or impact.

For the “No pressures” and “No impacts” bars, the same numbers of Swedish water bodies are redefined as in the pressures and impacts bars in figure 5.0, respectively. In the “Diffuse sources” bars, Swedish water bodies reported with the aggregated diffuse pressure type as the only diffuse pressure are defined as not affected, that is:

Rivers: 14149, Lakes: 6842, Transitional waters: 16, Coastal waters:  548.

In the “Contamination” bars, all Swedish water bodies with this impact are defined as not affected (because Sweden did not report the impact type “contaminated sediments”), that is :

Rivers: 15474, Lakes: 7196, Transitional waters: 21, Coastal waters:  598.
