In 2012, the European Commission came up with “A Blueprint to Safeguard Europe’s Water Resources” (EC 2012c) to tackle the obstacles which hamper action to further improve the status of EU waters. EEA’s state of water reports ([1]) served as an important contribution to underpin the statements that water quality and water quantity need concerted action. There are numerous challenges to attaining the objectives of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) (EU 2000 (Art. 4)) and floods, inundations, modifications of the water flow and morphological changes are amongst the multitude of pressures affecting Europe’s water bodies.
