1. Water intended for human consumption: origin and vulnerability of resources
Water intended for human consumption (EDCH) is primarily groundwater or surface water. Under certain conditions, seawater can be used after desalination.
1.1 Groundwater
Groundwater is normally well protected by the soil and therefore rarely polluted by human activities. However, there are more and more cases of anthropogenic pollution, notably by nitrate ions, residues of plant protection products (or their metabolites), chlorinated solvents or other contaminants (perchlorate ions, for example, more recently in France)
