http://dd.eionet.europa.eu/schemas/WFD2022

Required. Indicate whether a terrestrial ecosystem is
directly dependent on the groundwater body.
In order for terrestrial ecosystems to be considered as part of the classification for groundwater
bodies, they need to be ‘directly dependent’ on the groundwater body. This means that the
groundwater body should provide quantity (flow, level) or quality of water needed to sustain the
significance of the groundwater-dependent terrestrial ecosystem. This critical dependence upon a
groundwater body is most likely to occur where groundwater supplies the terrestrial ecosystem for
a significant part of the year or a significant time period during the year. For more information see
Technical Report No. 6 Technical Report on Groundwater-Dependent Terrestrial Ecosystems (*).

Required. The Directive requires coordination among Member States for the management of transboundary Water Bodies. Transboundary water bodies are those crossing the border between countries or constituting part of the border between two countries for a certain length. For reporting purposes in the case of water bodies that cross the border between countries, and for the sake of clarity, each Member State should report on its own part of these trans-boundary Water Bodies. Geographic information should therefore be provided for the part of the Water Body within the reporting Member State and likewise for all elements which have a clear geographical reference (e.g. size, monitoring stations). Each Member State should also report on all elements that apply to the whole water body (status, pressures, etc). For the latter the Commission expects that the information provided by each of the Member States concerned will be identical, as a result of the coordinated management required by the Directive.

Required. Indicate the significant pressure type(s) from the enumeration list.

If the quantitative status of the groundwater body is poor, at least one significant pressure type must be reported. The option 'No significant pressure' is not valid. If the chemical status of the groundwater body is poor, at least one significant pressure type must be reported. The option 'No significant pressure' is not valid.
Quality checks:
Within-schema check: the option 'No significant pressure' is not compatible with any other. Within-schema check: If GroundWaterBody/gwQuantitativeStatusValue is '3', at least one significant pressure type must be selected from the enumeration list (can include '8 Unknown pressures'). The option 'No significant pressure' is not a valid selection. The option 'Not applicable' is not valid.

Please report the period in which it is expected that good chemical status will be achieved in full, not the date relating to individual exemptions.

According to Article 4(4)(c) of the WFD, postponing the achievement of objectives beyond 2027 is only possible due to natural conditions.
