1.2.WATER QUALITY, ECOSYSTEMS AND HUMAN HEALTH One of the major constraints with respect to freshwater is the pollution of groundwater caused by nitrates from agricultural sources. The biological water quality of rivers has continuously improved since 1975 in the old federal states in the west and since 1990 in the new federal states in the east. The quality objective of moderate or less pollution has been reached on about 45 per cent of the river stretches. Only 9 per cent of the stretches were severely or excessively polluted in 1995. Among hazardous substances, pollution with heavy metals (from agricultural soil erosion and urban storm waters) and pesticides (from agriculture) is still problematic. The intensive use of rivers for shipping and energy supply as well as the maintenance of brooks in agricultural areas created an unnatural river morphology lacking in ecologically sound living areas for water organisms. A comparative study of environmental pollution caused by private consumption in households over the past 10 years has shown reduction in water consumption (-8.5 per cent) and waste water (-4.5 per cent). Water quality control measures have significantly reduced the pollution of nature in Country
