Data Table

This page was archived on 25 Aug 2017 with reason: A new version has been published

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

Table definition

Latitude	Latitude	(Y) international geographical co-ordinates of the monitoring station in decimal degrees.	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
IndexStation	Index station	index station for precipitation or discharge monitoring, used for spatial aggregation (1 = yes, 0 = no).	int(4)	0
PrecipitationStation	Precipitation station	rain gauge station which also measures snowfall: 1 = yes, 0 = no.	int(4)	0
ReferenceStation	Reference station	reference station: 1 =yes, 0 = no.	int(4)	0
FluxStation	Flux station	flux station: 1 =yes, 0 = no.	int(4)	0
RiverName	River name	river name at the national level.	nvarchar(200)	0
Region	Region	region in which water body is located at the national level.	nvarchar(200)	0
Country	Country name (ISO 3166-1)	official short name in English.	nvarchar(100)	0
WaterbaseName	Waterbase name	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
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, or 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
