European Terrestrial Reference System 1989 World Geodetic System 1984 including re-opened bathing water if closed or permanently closed in the previous season(s) existing bathing water new bathing water bathing water has a permanent bathing prohibition or permanent advice against bathing permanently closed bathing water bathing water is not closed bathing water is permanently closed if classified as “poor” for five consecutive years or Member State released permanent bathing prohibition or advice against bathing -if closed due to bad quality, it needs to be monitored; -if closed due to other reasons that prevent sampling (e.g. renovation, not accessible due to construction activities nearby), the monitoring is not needed. Closed bathing water that is monitored can be assessed (can get Class “1” or “2” or “3” or “4”). If closed bathing water is not monitored, Class is “11”. bathing water is temporarily closed for a part of one season or the entire season, but not yet permanently closed coastal water = surface water on the landward side of a line, every point of which is at a distance of one nautical mile on the seaward side from the nearest point of the baseline from which the breadth of territorial waters is measured, extending where appropriate up to the outer limit of transitional waters lake = body of standing inland surface water river = body of inland water flowing for most part on the surface of the land but which may flow underground for part of its course transitional water = bodies of surface water in the vicinity of river mouths which are partly saline in character as a result of their proximity to coastal waters but which are substantially influenced by freshwater flows bathing water is not situated in a region subject to special geographic constraints bathing water is situated in a region subject to special geographic constraints
