Good Quantitative Status

Quantitative status is an assessment of the balance between abstraction and requirements linked to surface water supply, and the natural recharging of a body of groundwater.

Quantitative status has two grades: good and poor

The quantitative status of a body of groundwater is considered to be good when abstractions do not exceed the available resource’s capacity for renewal, taking into account the need to supply surface aquatic ecosystems, sites and wetlands that are directly dependent on the body.
