Freshwater Abstraction and hydropower – Dataset for WISE Map Layer
European data
Freshwater Abstraction and hydropower (2 tables, 10 queries)
This database includes the most recent available information regarding the total annual freshwater abstraction (excluding hydropower), abstraction for hydropower generation and cooling water across Europe. The information comes from various sources, such as reports from member states through the WISE-SoE process between 2009 and 2011, the responses from the OECD/ESTAT Joint Questionnaire on Inland Waters from 2001 to 2009 and reports under the WFD for the years 2004 to 2008. Data on the population per country and realistic estimated calculations on the population of the river basin districts (RBD) are included in the database, as well as various queries used to normalize data and filter out important information.

TABLES
Water abstraction and hydropower data (wa_total_abstraction, 109 records)
Table contains most recent available information needed for the calculation of water abstraction, water use for hydropower and cooling water across Europe. The data come from various sources such as reports from member states through the WISE-SoE process between 2009 and 2011, the responses from the OECD/ESTAT Joint Questionnaire on Inland Waters from 2001 to 2009 and reports under the WFD for the years 2004 to 2008.
Field name | Definition |
---|---|
Country | The name of the country |
Region_code | The code of the region (Country, RBD or SU code) |
Region | The name of the region |
Spatial_scale | The spatial scale: “Country”, “RBD” or “SU” |
Area | The area in km2 (if known) |
Year | The year which the data refer to |
DataSource | The source where the data have been reported |
Total_abstraction | Total annual freshwater abstraction (in hm3), excluding freshwater abstraction for hydropower generation |
Cooling_water | Total annual volume of freshwater abstracted for cooling purposes in electricity production (in hm3). Cooling purposes refer to the use of water for absorption and removal of heat in the generation of electricity in power stations. |
Hydropower | Total annual volume of freshwater abstracted for hydropower generation(in hm3) |
Abstraction_NoCooling | Total annual freshwater abstraction excluding water abstracted for cooling purposes (in hm3) |
Population data (population, 216 records)
Table contains the most recent available information on the population of countries and estimations on the population of RBDs.
Field name | Definition |
---|---|
RegionCode | The code of the region (Country or RBD code) |
Population | The number of inhabitants |
