Pesticide monitoring in surface waters and groundwater of the EU Member States and reporting to the EEA is nowadays oriented on the monitoring obligations under the WFD. Additionally, regional monitoring efforts are made to tackle regional problems. Such monitoring is often designed together between environmental, drinking water and agricultural administrations and stakeholders. These monitored pesticide concentrations together with information on agricultural activities (including pesticide usage) could be the basis for regional management of environmental contamination of pesticides.
