Emissions from point and diffuse sources (WISE1_Emissions, 67160 records)
Annual emissions of nutrients, organic matter and hazardous substances from point discharges and diffuse sources to inland surface waters, aggregated by pollutant and spatial unit.
| FieldName | Definition | DataType |
|---|---|---|
| UID | Unique identifier of the record in the EEA WISE SOE database. | int |
| versionId | Reported data: url to the data source; Derived data: url to a summary information describing the origin of the data. | nvarchar (255) |
| beginLifeSpanVersion | Reported data: the delivery date of the source data to the Reportnet. Derived data: the entry date to the EEA WISE SOE database. | datetime |
| spatialUnitIdentifier | Unique international identifier of the spatial unit for which the data is being reported. | nvarchar (255) |
| spatialUnitIdentifierScheme | Specification of whether the spatial unit is a country ('countryCode'), a Water Framework Directive river basin district ('euRBDCode') or a Water Framework Directive sub-unit ('euSubUnitCode'). For data providers that do not report under the WFD, spatial units equivalent to river basin districts ('eionetRBDCode') or sub-units ('eionetSubUnitCode') should be used. | nvarchar (255) |
| phenomenonTimeReferencePeriod | The year or range of years to which the data applies. | nvarchar (10) |
| observedPropertyDeterminandCode | Unique code of the determinand monitored, as defined in the codelist. | nvarchar (255) |
| parameterEmissionsSourceCategory | See the code list values for a definition of each category. | nvarchar (255) |
| parameterEPRTRfacilities | Information if the Emission value is aggregated from E-PRTR Facilities or from non-E-PRTR Facilities or from both together. See codelist for details. | nvarchar (255) |
| resultEmissionsValue | Annual emission of nutrients (tonne/year), organic matter (tonne/year) or hazardous substances (kg/year) from a specific source of emissions, aggregated by spatial unit. | float |
| resultEmissionsUom | Unit of measure for the reported emission value. | nvarchar (255) |
| procedureEmissionsMethod | Method used in the quantification of the emissions value. | nvarchar (255) |
| resultObservationStatus | Status of the observed value in terms of its availability, relevancy, correctness or specifics of its source category. | nvarchar (255) |
| Remarks | Remarks, comments or explanatory notes. | nvarchar (max) |
| waterbaseObservationStatus | Status flag of the observation. The most common are 'A' - Normal value, 'V' - Unvalidated value, 'U' - Low reliability | nvarchar (100) |
| waterbaseRemarks | Explanation of the 'U' status, if indicated in the waterbaseObservationStatus field, and any additional information entered during the data processing. | nvarchar (max) |

Reporting obligations (ROD)

Rights:
- By downloading Waterbase, you are accepting and agreeing to the EEA data policy (http://www.eea.europa.eu/legal/eea-data-policy).
-
Disclaimer:
- Waterbase data is collected and published to produce comparable indicators of pressures, state and impacts on European waters. Waterbase is intended for a European-wide scale of analysis. It is not intended for assessing compliance with any European Directive or any other legal instrument. Information on the national and sub-national scales should be sought from other sources.
-
Methodology:
This Waterbase contains data on emissions of nutrients, organic matter and hazardous substances to water, from point sources (mostly from industrial and urban waste waster treatment plants) and from diffuse sources (e.g. agriculture, atmospheric deposition, urban runoff not connected to collecting systems). The data is reported as totals per river basin district sub-unit, river basin district or country.
The data was delivered between 2009 and 2016 by EEA member countries and cooperating countries, in the scope of the current WISE SoE - Emissions (WISE-1) reporting obligation.
The national data deliveries are compiled into a European-wide Waterbase. Additional information is obtained from the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR) database.
-
Data sources
The original data is available in the EIONET Central Data Repository.
Additional data is extracted from the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR) database.
