Pressures and risk results by water category

Risk assessment results presented under the following water categories: rivers, lakes, estuaries, coastal waters, groundwater and protected areas.

Note, we included artificial and heavily modified water bodies in the risk assessments for rivers, lakes, estuaries and coastal waters.

Pressures and risks on rivers

We assessed the pressures on rivers from alien species, diffuse source pressures, point source pressures, physical and morphological alteration, and water abstraction and flow regulation.
Pressures and risks on lakes

We assessed the pressures on lakes from alien species, diffuse source pressures, point source pressures, physical and morphological alteration, and water abstraction and flow regulation.
Pressures and risks on estuaries and coastal waters

We assessed the pressures on estuaries and coastal waters from alien species, diffuse source pressures, point source pressures, physical and morphological alteration, and water abstraction and flow regulation.
Pressures and risks on groundwater and groundwater dependent ecosystems

We assessed the pressures on groundwater and groundwater dependent ecosystems from diffuse source pressures, point source pressures and water abstraction and flow regulation.
Pressures and risks on protected areas

We have assessed whether protected areas are likely to achieve their objectives by 2015.
