GWB) Overview of the structure of the 2016 reporting contents Reporting at groundwater body level is done for each RBD. For the purpose of presentation in this guidance, the contents of reporting are structured according to the following sub-chapters: Groundwater body characterisation Pressures and impacts on groundwater bodies Quantitative status of groundwater bodies Chemical status of groundwater bodies The following sections describe the contents of reporting. The UML diagram of the GWB schema is found in Annex 10.3.
Characterisation of groundwater Introduction Article 5 and Annex II of the WFD requires Member States to identify the location and boundaries of groundwater bodies. How will the European Commission and the EEA use the information reported? The European Commission will use the information provided on the level of subdivision of groundwater to ensure that this is adequate to describe the status of groundwater bodies. The information will also be used to assess whether and how Member States have implemented the key obligations of the WFD. Statistics and information will be provided to the European Parliament at EU level. Information will be provided to the public through WISE.
