Waterbase-Rivers: Pressures

Data Table

This page was archived on 05 Dec 2016 with reason: Other (The dataset is replaced by Waterbase - Water Quality dataset, which combines Waterbase - Rivers, Lakes and Groundwater into one. It's available at http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/waterbase-water-quality/.)

The Pressures table contains proxy pressure data on the upstream catchments of WISE-SoE river monitoring stations. Each station has been assigned a unique Waterbase identifier (WaterbaseID) which can be used to link the Pressures data with their respective Stations and Quality data. Each record has a special quality assurance field. Its meaning is explained in the QA documentation which can be found in the "Additional information" section.
