Contents of the 2016 reporting Schema sketch See Annex 10.3. Information and data to be reported using the schemas Information regarding the quantitative status of groundwater bodies should be reported at groundwater body level according to the schema GWB. Schema: GWB (continued) Class: GroundWaterBody (continued) Properties: maxOccurs = unbounded minOccurs = 1 Schema element: gwAtRiskQuantitative Field type / facets: YesNoCode_Enum: Yes, No Properties: maxOccurs =1 minOccurs = 1 Guidance on completion of schema element: Required. Report whether the groundwater body is at risk of failing to be of good quantitative status. Please follow the approach given in the ‘CIS Guidance Document No. 26: Risk assessment and the use of conceptual models’. Schema element: gwReasonsForRiskQuantitative Field type / facets: QuantitativeFailure_Enum: Water balance Surface water Groundwater dependent terrestrial ecosystems Saline or other intrusion Properties: maxOccurs =unbounded minOccurs = 0 Guidance on completion of schema element: Conditional. If the groundwater body is at risk of failing to be of good quantitative status, select reasons from the enumeration list. ‘Water balance’ = Exceedance of available groundwater resource by long-term annual average rate of abstraction that may result in a decrease of groundwater levels. ‘Surface water’ = Failure to achieve Environmental Objectives (Article 4 WFD) for associated surface water bodies resulting from anthropogenic water level alteration or change in flow conditions; significant diminution of the status of surface waters resulting from anthropogenic water level alteration or change in flow conditions. ‘Groundwater dependent terrestrial ecosystems’ = Significant damage to groundwater dependent terrestrial ecosystems resulting from an anthropogenic water level alteration. ‘Saline or other intrusion’ = Regional saline or other intrusions resulting from anthropogenically induced sustained changes in flow direction.
