For the presented short list of pesticides, the number of records with exceedances for each water supply zone and the compliance rate is available.

Based on available data of DWD reporting of the time period 2014 - 2016, the short list of pesticides was monitored in about 60 % out of 9500 large Water Supply Zones in Europe, (Figure 3.8). This is an increase in comparison to the period 2011 - 2013, when pesticides were monitored in below 30% of Water Supply Zones (European Environment Agency 2016). Based on the amount of monitored Water Supply Zones, no information on pesticide risk of drinking water can be derived. The compliance rate of pesticides is shown in section 4.2.2.
