Figure 4.5 shows an example of the Waterbase - Emissions data for pesticides. According to this database, the amount of pesticides doesn’t show any trend over the last 10 years. It needs to be noted, that Waterbase - Emissions is not a mandatory reporting but at present provides the most valuable database for emissions from diffuse sources.
