Water and marine environment

The state of our marine ecosystems is not critical

Clean water is an essential resource for human health, agriculture, energy production, transportation and nature

Our seas are healthy and clean

Pesticides can end up in rivers, lakes and groundwater, with the potential to harm aquatic ecosystems and water quality

All of Europe's population has access to good quality drinking water

Clean, unpolluted water is very essential for our ecosystems, as any modification alters the habitat of our plant and animal species

Water quality does not depend on or is not influenced by direct or diffuse pollution

Oxygen-consuming substances and hazardous chemicals are more associated with diffuse discharges
