Définition
Sens technique

Estimate of the balance between, on the one hand, abstractions and needs related to supply inputs to surface water, and on the other, the natural recharge of groundwater. The quantitative status has two classes: good and poor. Good quantitative status of groundwater is achieved when abstractions do not exceed the turnover capacity of the available resource, taking into account the necessary supply inputs to surface water ecosystems, directly dependent sites and wetlands.
