IMPACT | DESCRIPTION OF THE RISK |
---|---|
L | Groundwater level decrease (aquifer depth, water volume) due to extractions. |
N | Nutrient pollution, mainly from fertilizers and animal waste, above the legal limit (50 mg/l) or close to the limit with an upward trend. |
C | Chemical pollution other than nutrients (mainly pesticides but also metals, hydrocarbons, etc.) above the legal limit or close and with an upward trend. |
E | Impact on terrestrial ecosystems dependent on groundwater. |
M | Microbiological contamination. |
O | Organic contamination. |
IMPACT | DESCRIPTION OF THE RISK |
