Division 2.3 Review of the impact of human activity on groundwaters

For those bodies of groundwater which cross the boundary between two or more Member States or are identified following the initial characterisation undertaken in accordance with paragraph 2.1 as being at risk of failing to meet the objectives set for each body under Article 4, the following information shall, where relevant, be collected and maintained for each groundwater body:

1. (a)

   the location of points in the groundwater body used for the abstraction of water with the exception of:

   • points for the abstraction of water providing less than an average of 10 m³ per day, or,

   • points for the abstraction of water intended for human consumption providing less than an average of 10 m³ per day or serving less than 50 persons,

2. (b)

   the annual average rates of abstraction from such points,

3. (c)

   the chemical composition of water abstracted from the groundwater body,

4. (d)

   the location of points in the groundwater body into which water is directly discharged,

5. (e)

   the rates of discharge at such points,

6. (f)

   the chemical composition of discharges to the groundwater body, and

7. (g)

   land use in the catchment or catchments from which the groundwater body receives its recharge, including pollutant inputs and anthropogenic alterations to the recharge characteristics such as rainwater and run-off diversion through land sealing, artificial recharge, damming or drainage.
