None of the water bodies are in a good ecological and chemical condition. All exceed the limits for nitrates, mercury and mercury compounds, and the herbicide brominated diphenyl ethers. In the middle reaches of the Lippingau, the limit for the herbicide diflufenican is also exceeded. Several stationary monitoring sites for chemistry and biology are located along the Lippingau and the lower reaches of the Esgruser Mühlenstrom, see Map 2. By the year 2028, according to the Water Framework Directive (WFD), a "good" ecological and chemical status must be achieved for all waters in the European Union.
