Reference WATERBASE - Rivers: stations characteristic data

Data Table

This page was archived on 05 Dec 2016 with reason: Other (The dataset is replaced by Waterbase - Water Quality dataset, which combines Waterbase - Rivers, Lakes and Groundwater into one. It's available at http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/waterbase-water-quality/.)

The Stations table contains data on the EUROWATERNET river monitoring stations' physical characteristics. Each station has been assigned a unique WATERBASE identifier (WaterbaseID) which can be used to link the Stations with their respective Quality and Pressure data.
