WFD Coastal Waterbody Approved Risk

This layer represents the risk for each waterbody of failing to meet their Water Framework Directive (WFD) objectives by 2027. The risk of not meeting WFD objectives were determined by assessment of monitoring data, data on the pressures and data on the measures that have been implemented. Waterbodies that are At Risk are prioritised for implementation of measures. This assessment was completed in 2020 by the EPA Catchments Unit in conjunction with other public bodies and was Primarily based on monitoring data up the end of 2018. The three risk categories are: • Waterbodies that are At Risk of not meeting their Water Framework Directive objectives. For these waterbodies an evidence-based process was undertaken to identify the significant pressures; once a pressure is designated as ‘significant’, measures and accompanying resources are needed to mitigate the impact(s) from this pressure. These At Risk waterbodies require not only implementation of the existing measures described in the various regulations, e.g. the Good Agricultural Practices Regulations, but also in many instances more targeted supplementary measures. • Waterbodies that are categorised as Review either because additional information is needed to determine their status before resources and more targeted measures are Initiated or the measures have been undertaken, e.g. a wastewater treatment plant upgrade, but the outcome hasn' t yet been measured/monitored. • Waterbodies that are Not at Risk and therefore are meeting their Water Framework Directive objectives. These require maintenance of existing measures to protect the satisfactory status of the water bodies.本图层表征了各水体至2027年未能达成《水框架指令（Water Framework Directive, WFD）》目标的风险。未能达成WFD目标的风险，通过对监测数据、压力源相关数据以及已实施治理措施的相关数据开展评估得以确定。处于风险中的水体将被优先落实相关治理措施。本次评估于2020年由环境署（EPA）流域单元联合其他公共机构完成，主要基于截至2018年末的监测数据。 本次评估划定了三类风险等级： • 存在未达成水框架指令目标风险的水体：针对此类水体，已采用循证流程识别关键压力源；一旦某压力源被划定为"重大压力源"，即需配套相应措施与资源以缓解该压力源带来的影响。此类处于风险中的水体，不仅需落实各项法规中规定的既有治理措施（如《良好农业规范条例》），在多数情况下还需实施更具针对性的补充措施。 • 被归类为"待审核"的水体：此类水体要么需要补充信息以明确其水质状态，进而方可调配资源并启动更具针对性的治理措施；要么已采取相关治理举措（如污水处理厂升级改造），但尚未对实施效果开展监测与评估。 • 未处于风险中的水体，即已达成水框架指令目标的水体。此类水体需维持既有治理措施，以保障其已达标的良好水质状态。
