Waterbase is the generic name given to the EEA's databases on the status and quality of Europe's rivers, lakes, groundwater bodies and transitional, coastal and marine waters, on the quantity of Europe's water resources, and on the emissions to surface waters from point and diffuse sources of pollution.

T_WISE1_Emissions (60015 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.

Element name	Element definition	Value definitions
spatialUnitIdentifier	Unique international identifier of the spatial unit for which the data is being reported.	see Vocabulary
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.	see Vocabulary
phenomenonTimeReferencePeriod	The year or range of years to which the data applies.
observedPropertyDeterminandCode	Unique code of the determinand monitored, as defined in the codelist.	see Vocabulary
parameterEmissionsSourceCategory	See the code list values for a definition of each category.	see Vocabulary
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.	both: Emission value includes emissions from both E-PRTR and non-E-PRTR Facilities; no: Emission value includes emissions from non-E-PRTR Facilities only; yes: Emission value includes emissions from E-PRTR Facilities only
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.
resultEmissionsUom	Unit of measure for the reported emission value.	see Vocabulary
procedureEmissionsMethod	Method used in the quantification of the emissions value.	calculated: Point sources only - Values of emissions are based on calculations; estimated: Point and diffuse sources - Values of emissions are based on non-standardised estimations; measured: Point sources only - Values of emissions are based on measurements; modelled: Diffuse sources only - Values of emissions are based on model results
resultObservationStatus	Status of the observed value in terms of its availability, relevancy, correctness or specifics of its source category.	A: Record is confirmed as correct; L: Missing observed value, the data were not collected; M: Missing observed value, the data can not exist; N: Missing observed value, observed value is not relevant or not significant; O: Missing observed value, no further information is available; W: Missing observed value, data are included in another source category; X: Reported value includes data from another source category (categories); Y: The source category does not exactly match the standard definition; Z: Record reported in the past should be deleted
Remarks	Remarks, comments or explanatory notes.
metadata_versionId	Unique metadata identifier of version of the feature or record. Url that points either to the source of the reported data or to a page providing information on the data origin.
metadata_beginLifeSpanVersion	Timestamp when feature or record was created. In case of reported data it's the release date and time of the respective CDR envelope.
metadata_statusCode	Status of the feature or record regarding its registration.	valid: accepted and valid reported feature or record; experimental: derived feature or record, e.g. legacy record converted to the new structure by EEA or records with updated spatial identifiers
metadata_observationStatus
metadata_statements	Aditional information or statements regarding the reliability of the feature or record.
UID	Unique identifier of the record in the EEA WISE_SOE database.

Derived data set: Environmental Accounting Reference Layers - SDI

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 2017 by EEA member countries and cooperating countries, in the scope of the current WISE SoE - Emissions (WISE-1) reporting obligation.
