The Water Exploitation Index WEI (defined as the ratio of annual abstraction over long term annual availability (ltaa), see Box 4.1) is used to quantify the pressure (stress) exerted on the environment (i.e. the natural water resources) by anthropogenic activities (i.e. water abstraction).

For us it is not clear why Austria is not represented in the map. At least AT2000-Rhine and AT5000-Elbe are referenced in the Notes (although the main Austrian RBD AT1000-Danube is not referenced).
However, some data for Austria should be available as the following link to the EEA Homepage shows: http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/figures/water-exploitation-index-based-on
