Définition
Sens technique
Water quality assessment based on the concentrations of pollutants including priority substances in particular. The chemical status has two classes: good and poor. Good chemical status of surface water is achieved when the concentrations of pollutants do not exceed the environmental quality standards. Good chemical status of groundwater is reached when the concentrations of pollutants do not show any effect of salt water inflow, do not exceed the quality standards and do not prevent achieving the objectives for associated surface water.
