2. A Member State may decide that it is not appropriate to reuse water for agricultural irrigation in one or more of its river basin districts or parts thereof, taking into account the following criteria:
|
(a)
|
the geographic and climatic conditions of the district or parts thereof;
|
|
(b)
|
the pressures on and the status of other water resources, including the quantitative status of groundwater bodies as referred to in Directive 2000/60/EC;
|
|
(c)
|
the pressures on and the status of the surface water bodies in which treated urban waste water is discharged;
|
|
(d)
|
the environmental and resource costs of reclaimed water and of other water resources.
|
Any decision taken pursuant to the first subparagraph shall be duly justified on the basis of the criteria referred to in that subparagraph and submitted to the Commission. It shall be reviewed as necessary, in particular taking into account climate change projections and national climate change adaptation strategies, and at least every six years taking into account river basin management plans established pursuant to Directive 2000/60/EC.
