The ECRINS delineation of river basin districts differs from those defined by Member States under the Water Framework Directive, particularly for trans-boundary river basin districts. \nThe regionalised Water Exploitation Index (WEI+) is calculated as the ratio of water use over renewable water resources (see Indicator Methodology chapter for further clarification). Raskin et al. (1997) suggests a WEI value above 20 % indicates water scarcity whereas a value higher than 40% indicates severe water scarcity.\nThe dynamic map with time slider provides information on water abstraction by source and water use by sector at sub-basin or river basin scale. \nData sources:\n- Water statistics (Eurostat) provided by Statistical Office of the European Union (Eurostat)\n- LISFLOOD.
