Waterbase - Quantity: Stations
The Stations table contains the physical characteristics of the Eurowaternet 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 QuantityWater data.

Waterbase - Quantity: QuantityWater
The QuantityWater table contains data on water resources measured at Eurowaternet monitoring stations. Each station has been assigned a unique Waterbase identifier (WaterbaseID) which can be used to link the QuantityWater data with their respective Stations data.

Additional information
Waterbase contains timely, reliable and policy-relevant data collected from EEA member countries through the Eurowaternet (EWN) process. EWN selects validated monitoring data from national databases and adds information on the physical characteristics of the water bodies being monitored and on the pressures potentially affecting water quality. The added value of Waterbase is that data collected through the EWN process are from statistically stratified monitoring stations and groundwater bodies and are comparable at the European level. Waterbase data are primarily used in the production of the EEA's indicator-based factsheets.
