Figure

Percentage of reported monitoring sites with pesticides exceeding thresholds in surface waters, different sized rivers, lakes and groundwater in European countries in time period 2013-2020

The figure shows the percentage of monitoring sites with threshold exceedances of pesticides in surface waters, different sized rivers, lakes and groundwater in European countries. This was used to examine threshold exceedances according to Surface Waters; Rivers, small; Rivers, medium; Rivers, large; Lakes, and Groundwater.

Additional information

  • n.d. = No data
  • In brackets: Total number of reported monitoring sites
  • The percentage of exceedance rates was calculated based on the number of reported monitoring sites with exceedances, divided by the total number of reported monitoring sites.
  • River size could not be assigned to all monitoring sites (so total surface waters does not equal the sum of lakes plus large, medium and small rivers). This issue mainly affects Italy and Spain.
  • The WISE Water Framework Directive database was used in the identification of river size.
  • EEA-38. Only countries for which data were available are shown.

Further information on the methodology used, including the thresholds used in the assessment of exceedances, is available through the website: https://forum.eionet.europa.eu/nrc-eionet-freshwater/library/pesticides-water/indicator-pesticides-rivers-lakes-and-groundwater-1/2022

Based on data

Data Waterbase - Water Quality ICM Waterbase is the generic name given to the EEA's databases on the status and quality of Europe's rivers, lakes, groundwater bodies and transitional, coastal and marine waters, on the quantity of Europe's water resources, and on the emissions to surface waters from point and diffuse sources of pollution.
Data WISE Water Framework Directive Database The WISE Water Framework Directive database contains data from the 1st and 2nd River Basin Management Plans reported by EU Members States, Norway and the United Kingdom according to article 13 of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). The database includes information about surface water bodies (number and size, water body category, ecological status or potential, chemical status, significant pressures and impacts, and exemptions) and about groundwater bodies (number and size, quantitative status, chemical status, significant pressures and impacts, and exemptions). The information is presented by country, river basin district (RBD) and river basin district sub-unit (where applicable).
Data European catchments and Rivers network system (Ecrins) Version 1, Jun. 2012 - Ecrins is acronym for European catchments and Rivers network system. It is a geographical information system of the European hydrographical systems with a full topological information. Ecrins is a composite system made from the CCM developed by the JRC, Corine land Cover, WFD reporting elements, etc.
