Description

The Water Framework Directive (WFD), now 18 years old, established a framework for the assessment, management, protection and improvement of the quality of water resources across the EU. 

In 2018, the European Commission will publish its report on the assessment of the second RBMPs and will start the process of evaluating the WFD. 

To accompany and inform this process, the EEA has produced this report on the state of Europe’s water.
