WaterbaseName | Waterbase Name | name of the monitoring station for rivers, lakes, transitional, coastal and marine waters and water quantity, or the 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(50) | 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 discharge monitoring station located in a river section with a flow regime as natural as possible or with only slight anthropogenic influence (1 = yes, 0 = no). | int(4) | 0 |
FluxStation | Flux Station | flux discharge monitoring station located in the mouth of a river or on national boundary (1 = yes, 0 = no). | int(4) | 0 |
