Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year millions of Europeans spend their holidays or weekends at Europe's diverse and beautiful beaches and bathing areas. As this year's bathing season approaches, many of them start to take an interest in the quality of water in which they will bathe. Europe is the world's no. 1 tourist destination, and the tourism industry has become a key sector of the European economy, generating over 10 % of EU GDP (directly or indirectly) and employing around 10 million citizens. The competitiveness of the European tourism industry is dependent on the quality of tourist destinations, including the quality of bathing water at those destinations. The European Commission and the European Environment Agency (EEA) are therefore pleased to present this year's bathing water report. The efforts of the European Union to ensure clean and healthy bathing water began forty years ago with the Bathing Water Directive, issued in 1976. A revised version of the directive followed in 2006, updating the measures of the 1976 legislation and simplifying its management and surveillance methods. This revised directive also provides for better and timelier public information about bathing water quality. For recreational activities such as swimming, faecal contamination from sewage and animals is a cause of concern for public health. Swimming at contaminated beaches or bathing lakes can result in illness.

Book excerpt: Swimming is consistently ranked among the top public outdoor recreational activities in Europe and has numerous positive effects on human health and psychology. Bathing sites are often very attractive tourist destinations. The need to protect and improve bathing water quality in both marine and freshwater environments is thus a key issue for policymakers and environmental managers. This report summarises how over 40 years of European environmental policy and management have significantly improved bathing water quality across Europe. We outline the key challenges for bathing water management in Europe and describe how these are addressed by governments implementing the BWD through specific management measures, strategies and practices. In addition, we point out that the improvement in bathing water quality can serve as an inspiration for an example of best practice in environmental management. Furthermore, we discuss how bathing water protection and restoration does not necessarily take place only at popular coastal resorts. On the contrary, improving bathing water quality is feasible and desirable for the rivers and lakes within the towns and cities that many of us live in. Throughout the report, we highlight the value and importance of bathing waters in Europe and identify challenges for future bathing water management.
