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

The Stations table contains the physical characteristics of the Eionet-Water 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 Quantity data.

| Latitude | Latitude | (Y) international geographical co-ordinates of the monitoring station in decimal degrees. | float(8) | 0 |
| CatchmentArea | Catchment area | upstream catchment area in km2. | float(8) | 0 |
| Altitude | Altitude | altitude of monitoring station in m above sea level. | float(8) | 0 |
| Longitude | Longitude | (X) international geographical co-ordinates of the monitoring station in decimal degrees. | float(8) | 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 |

| FluxStation | Flux station | flux station: 1 =yes, 0 = no. | int(4) | 0 |
| RiverName | River name | river name at the national level. | nvarchar(200) | 0 |
| Region | Region | region in which water body is located at the national level. | nvarchar(200) | 0 |
| Country | Country name (ISO 3166-1) | official short name in English. | nvarchar(100) | 0 |
| WaterbaseName | Waterbase name | name of the monitoring station for rivers, lakes, transitional, coastal and marine waters and water quantity, or 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(200) | 0 |

| WaterbaseID | Waterbase ID | internally produced, unique identifier used to represent the monitoring station for rivers, lakes, transitional, coastal and marine waters and water quantity, or groundwater body, in the format CountryCode_WaterDataSet_NationalStationID (e.g. GB_RV_12345). | varchar(200) | -1 |

Waterbase contains timely, reliable and policy-relevant data collected from EEA member countries through the Eionet-Water (formerly known as Eurowaternet) process. Eionet-Water 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 Eionet-Water 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.
