Promoting the siting of new activities posing a potential risk to the quality or quantity of groundwater outside groundwater areas.
STATE OF IMPLEMENTATION
Completed. (All the elements of the measure have been completed both in terms of time and at all planned locations. If a measure consists of an unlimited continuum of measures, a measure can be regarded as having been completed once the first sub-measure has been completed.)
A new guide has been issued for the designation and classification of groundwater areas. The boundaries of groundwater areas have been adjusted during the determination of groundwater areas, which will help to better take into account groundwater areas in land use planning. Most of the groundwater areas had been reviewed by the end of 2021.
