    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.
