WISE WFD Quality Elements status reported under Water Framework Directive - 2016

The WISE WFD quality elements status contains information about the ecological status or potential of European surface water bodies, delineated for the River Basin Management Plans (RBMP) under the Water Framework Directive (WFD). The Quality Element status is the poorest of the known quality element status values per water body. For example, the nutrient conditions status (QE3-1-6) is based on the following two quality elements: Nitrogen conditions (QE3-1-6-1) and Phosphorus conditions (QE3-1-6-2).
