The risk of sites presented on the map is to be regarded only as potential and is derived from national data on quantities of water-endangering substances at particular industrial sites.
Assessment of the real risk associated with specific sites requires a thorough site analysis and evaluation of safety measures applied. This will essentially remain a national task.
