In 2011 a questionnaire to Member States on WFD and hydropower resulted in answers from 24 countries (EU27 Member States except (Denmark, Estonia, Greece, Ireland and Malta) and Norway and Norway). The results from the questionnaire were presented in an issue paper (Kampa et al. 2011) and discussed at a CIS WFD hydromorphology workshop in September 2011. The main results are summarized below. Figure 10 shows the percentage of HMWB designated as such due to hydropower use in relation to total HMWB.

-          Sweden, Norway, Finland, Czech Republic and Austria have the highest percentage of HMWB due to hydropower (above 50% of total HWMB).

-          The Netherlands, Germany, United Kingdom, Latvia and Italy have the lowest percentage of HMWB due to hydropower (below 10% of total HMWB)
