Additional Information IV – Inventory of artificial barriers to the connectivity of surface waters (Art.15(3)(i) and (n))

Member States shall make an inventory of artificial barriers to longitudinal, lateral and vertical connectivity of surface waters. Moreover, considering the socio-economic functions of the artificial barriers, member States shall identify the barriers that need to be removed to contribute to meeting the restoration targets set out in Art. 4 of the Regulation and to fulfilling the objective of restoring at least 25000 km of rivers into free-flowing rivers in the EU by 2030 (Art. 9(1)).

These required actions are also covered by the provisions of Art. 14 Preparation of the national restoration plans that request Member States to take into account the latest scientific evidence.

As part of the periodic reviews and revisions of the national restoration plans (Art.19), this inventory will be updated, reflecting barriers that will have been removed as well as potentially newly built barriers.
