Cross-section through the Phanerozoic rocks above the Precambrian crystalline basement for the Baltic countries (locations a–b–c are indicated in Figure 2). The cross-section shows the main geological units of the Baltic Artesian Basin based on the model created by Virbulis et al. (2013). Black vertical lines indicate faults. BAB consists of an active water exchange zone, a passive water exchange zone, and a stagnation zone. See text for more details. Please refer to the online version of this paper to see this figure in color: http://dx.doi.org/10.2166/nh.2022.018.

There were also some minor errors in the text on page 971 of the paper. The corrections are given below and the paper has been updated online:
In 2016, catchments with mainly sandy sediments had nitrate concentrations in groundwater exceeding the regulation standard of 50 mg/L for approximately 70% of the monitoring points. In loamy catchments, approximately 8% on average, the monitoring points exceeded the regulation standard.
Finally there was an error in one of the column headings in Table 2. The correct version of the table is given below and has been updated online.
