Water resources: quantity and flows — key message 1

SOER 2010 Message (Deprecated) Published 28 Nov 2010
Many European river basins and waters have been altered by such human activities as water abstraction, land drainage, and dams. These often lead to major adverse ecological effects and leave limited space for natural habitats. Because of these problems and poor water quality the aim of the Water Framework Directive to achieve good status by 2015 may not be met.
