2. Member States shall ensure that the risk assessment includes the following elements:
|
(a)
|
characterisation of the catchment areas for abstraction points including:
|
(i)
|
identification and mapping of the catchment areas for abstraction points;
|
|
(ii)
|
mapping of the safeguard zones, where those zones have been established in accordance with Article 7(3) of Directive 2000/60/EC;
|
|
(iii)
|
geo-references for all abstraction points in the catchment areas; given that those data are potentially sensitive, in particular in the context of public health and public security, the Member States shall ensure that such data are protected and communicated only to the relevant authorities and water suppliers;
|
|
(iv)
|
description of land-use, runoff, and recharge processes in the catchment areas for abstraction points;
|
|
|
(b)
|
identification of hazards and hazardous events in the catchment areas for abstraction points and an assessment of the risk they could pose to the quality of water intended for human consumption; that assessment shall assess potential risks that might cause deterioration of the water quality to the extent that it could constitute a risk to human health;
|
|
(c)
|
appropriate monitoring in surface water or groundwater, or both, in the catchment areas for abstraction points, or in raw water, of relevant parameters, substances or pollutants selected from the following:
|
(i)
|
parameters in Parts A and B of Annex I or set in accordance with Article 5(3) of this Directive;
|
|
(ii)
|
groundwater pollutants in Annex I to Directive 2006/118/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (28), and pollutants and indicators of pollution for which threshold values have been established by Member States in accordance with Annex II to that Directive;
|
|
(iii)
|
priority substances and certain other pollutants in Annex I to Directive 2008/105/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (29);
|
|
(iv)
|
river basin specific pollutants established by Member States in accordance with Directive 2000/60/EC;
|
|
(v)
|
other pollutants relevant for water intended for human consumption established by Member States on the basis of the information collected in accordance with point (b) of this subparagraph;
|
|
(vi)
|
naturally occurring substances that could constitute a potential danger for human health through use of water intended for human consumption;
|
|
(vii)
|
substances and compounds included in the watch list as established in accordance with Article 13(8) of this Directive.
|
|
For the purposes of point (a) of the first subparagraph, Member States may use information collected in accordance with Articles 5 and 7 of Directive 2000/60/EC.
For the purposes of point (b) of the first subparagraph, Member States may use the review of the impact of human activity undertaken in accordance with Article 5 of Directive 2000/60/EC and information on significant pressures collected in accordance with points 1.4, 1.5 and 2.3 to 2.5 of Annex II to that Directive.
Member States shall select from points (c)(i) to (c)(vii) of the first subparagraph the parameters, substances or pollutants that are considered relevant for monitoring in light of the hazards and hazardous events identified under point (b) of the first subparagraph or in light of the information provided by the water suppliers in accordance with paragraph 3.
For the purpose of appropriate monitoring as referred to in point (c) of the first subparagraph, including to detect new substances that are harmful to human health through use of water intended for human consumption, Member States may use the monitoring performed in accordance with Articles 7 and 8 of Directive 2000/60/EC or other Union legislation and relevant to the catchment areas for abstraction points.
