Waterbase-Lakes: Stations

This website has limited functionality with javascript off. Please make sure javascript is enabled in your browser.

The Stations table contains the physical characteristics of the Eionet-Water lake monitoring stations. Each station has been assigned a unique Waterbase identifier (WaterbaseID) which can be used to link the Stations with their respective Quality and Pressures data.

Table definition

LakeResidenceTime	Lake residence time	mean lake residence time expressed as years.	float(8)	0
LakeVolume	Lake volume	volume of water in lake in Mio m³.	float(8)	0
LakeArea	Lake area	surface area of lake in km2.	float(8)	0
Latitude	Latitude	(Y) international geographical co-ordinates of the monitoring station in decimal degrees.	float(8)	0
LakeMaxDepth	Lake maximum depth	maximum depth of the lake in m.	float(8)	0
LakeMeanDepth	Lake mean depth	mean depth of the lake in m.	float(8)	0
CatchmentArea	Catchment area	upstream catchment area in km².	float(8)	0
Altitude	Altitude	altitude of monitoring station in m above sea level.	float(8)	0
Longitude	Longitude	(X) International geographical co-ordinates of the monitoring station in decimal degrees.	float(8)	0
Impactstation	Impact station	impact station: 1 = yes, 0 = no.	int(4)	0
Reservoir	Reservoir	reservoir or natural lake: 1 = yes (reservoir), 0 = no (lake).	int(4)	0
LargestLake	Largest lake	one of the largest lakes: 1 = yes, 0 = no.	int(4)	0
ReferenceLake	Reference lake	indicates whether the lake is considered a reference lake (1 = yes, 0 = no).	int(4)	0
RepresentativeLake	Representative lake	representative lake: 1 = yes, 0 = no.	int(4)	0
Country	Country	official short name in English.	nvarchar(50)	0
WaterbaseName	WaterbaseName	name of the monitoring station for rivers, lakes, transitional, coastal and marine waters and water quantity, or name of the groundwater body.	nvarchar(200)	0
NationalStationID	National station ID	national station identifier for rivers, lakes, transitional, coastal and marine waters and water quantity monitoring station. For transitional, coastal and marine waters, areas are recorded and reported as a discrete location, but location may relate to a station at a fixed geographical point, a broader area in which sampling locations vary from survey to survey or an area within a defined salinity range within which samples have been taken. When calculating loads, the national station identifier used should be the same ID previously supplied to represent the (flux) river monitoring station.	nvarchar(200)	0
WaterDataset	Water data set	RV = River, LK = Lake, GW = Groundwater, TCM = Transitional, Coastal or Marine Water, QA = Water Quantity.	varchar(3)	0
Region	Region	region in which water body is located at the national level.	varchar(200)	0
CountryCode	Country code	ISO 3166-alpha-2 code elements.	varchar(2)	0
WaterbaseID	Waterbase ID	internally produced, unique identifier used to represent the monitoring station for rivers, lakes, transitional, coastal and marine waters and water quantity, and groundwater body, in the format CountryCode_WaterDataSet_NationalStationID (e.g. GB_RV_12345).	varchar(200)	-1
DataSource	Data source	source of data: Eionet-Water, ICES.	varchar(50)	0
