Footnotes1) The boundaries of the National River Basin Districts are displayed using version 1.5 ofthe Water Information System for Europe (WISE) River Basin Districts dataset availablefrom the European Environment Agency:http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/wise-river-basin-districts-rbds-1.This dataset is based on data reported to WISE by EU Member States, Andorra,Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Monaco and Norway.
4) Country border data was provided by Eurostat and is derived from EGM at a scale of1:3 million.
2) The boundary of the Mayotte RBD (France) is displayed using the country borderdataset.3) The boundaries of the International River Basin Districts are derived from the WISERiver Basin Districts dataset.
6) This map displays heavily modified water bodies and artificial water bodies expressedas a percentage of all surface water bodies, based on data reported by Member Statesto WISE. Member States that have not reported River Basin Management Plans arecoloured dark grey.
