7.1.3.      Improved water quality

Implementation of the UWWTD has led to a reduction in the wastewater discharge of pollutants to receiving waters.  The economic recession of the 1990s in central and eastern European countries also contributed to this fall, as there was a decline in heavily polluting manufacturing industries. Clear downward trends in water quality determinants related to urban and industrial wastewater are evident in most of Europe's surface waters, although these trends have levelled in recent years.
