Sažetak
Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of groundwater against pollution and deterioration (GWD), has been adopted by European Commission in December 2006, hence an obligation in Article 17 of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) was fulfilled. This Directive requires the European Commission to propose specific measures to prevent and control groundwater pollution and to achieve good groundwater chemical status. The main elements of this Directive are: - to establish common criteria and procedure for the assessment of good groundwater chemical status for groundwater bodies based on: a groundwater quality standards for pollutants listed in Annex 1 of this Directive, where Community standards exist: these pollutants are nitrates and active substances in pesticides, including their relevant metabolites, degradation and reaction products ; threshold values of pollutants and indicators which contribute to the characterisation of GW bodies as being risk, to be established by Member States at the appropriate level (national, river basin or groundwater body), depending on the variations of natural groundwater conditions, identified pressures and related chemical substances - to establish criteria for identifying significant upward trends in pollutant concentrations in groundwater and defining starting points for reversing these trends ; - to establish measures for preventing or limiting direct – and particularly indirect – inputs of pollutants into groundwater.
