Surface water bodies affected by at least one hydromophological pressure

Hydromorphological pressures and altered habitats are reported for a large proportions of water bodies in all the water categories, except in coastal waters, where these pressures and impacts are reported for less than 10 % of water bodies (figure 4.3). The proportions of water bodies exposed to hydromorphological pressures are almost the same as those having altered habitats, except for transitional waters were a higher proportion have altered habitats than hydromorphological pressures. In rivers and transitional waters these pressures and impacts are reported for around half of all classified water bodies, while in lakes ca. 30 % of classified water bodies are affected.
