| Short description: |
The European Water Framework Directive puts renewed pressure on water managers to address the issue, which in the past has been recognised as important but with little to do about it. Now, they find themselves having to:
- Define and characterise water bodies
- Compute their water balances
- Define good status
- Design and implement corrective measures
- Propose and manage exploitation plans
- Design monitoring networks
While these tasks have to be carried our in all aquifers, they appear as especially difficult in coastal aquifers, potentially prone to seawater intrusion.
