7.4.     Measures on point sources and diffuse sources

Section 7.4 has to be improved and updated and will be based on results from DG Environment evaluation of pressures and measures in the RBMPs.

To achieve the objectives of the WFD we need to manage pressures on the water environment by preventing increases that would cause deterioration of status and reducing those that are causing water bodies to be at less than good status. Reducing pressures in a sustainable way will enable the water environment to recover and place Europe and Member States in a better position to cope with the effects of climate change.
