Sensitive areas at risk of eutrophication
This layer identifies water bodies (reservoirs, estuaries, or coastal waters) that have been designated as sensitive areas under the urban wastewater treatment regulations. These are areas where nutrient discharges (phosphorus and nitrogen) must be strictly controlled to prevent excessive algal growth and oxygen depletion in the aquatic ecosystem.

| Description (Catalan) | Aquesta capa identifica les masses d'aigua (embassaments, estuaris o aigües litorals) que han estat declarades sensibles segons la normativa de tractament d'aigües residuals urbanes. Són zones on els abocaments de nutrients (fòsfor i nitrogen) han de ser especialment controlats per evitar el creixement excessiu d'algues i la pèrdua d'oxigen en l'ecosistema aquàtic. |
