Aggregate level assessment

 Freshwater resources are essential for human health, nature, and the functioning of economies and societies. However, across Europe, these resources are threatened by multiple pressures. To address this, the Water Framework Directive requires Member States to promote the sustainable use of water resources (EU, 2000a). Monitoring the pressure on freshwater resources is important for assessing progress towards this objective and for identifying areas prone to water scarcity. This is also in line with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.4.2, which aims at monitoring global water scarcity issues.

    We suggest pointing out  that, unlike WEI+, the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.4.2 takes also into account the Environmental Flow Requirements (EFR)

      Thank you for your comment, we are aware of this difference. The text suggests that they are in the same family of indicators not exactly the same indicators. We will make the difference more explicit.
