River flow This indicator shows the trends in monthly stream flow over more than 4 decades for locations across Europe. The indicator also shows the projected change in annual and seasonal river flow in Europe for 2071-2100 (SRES A1B scenario) compared to 1961-1990. For some selected locations, the projected change in daily average river flow for 2071-2100 compared to 1961-1990 is shown.

Freshwater quality This indicator shows: 1. Annual median concentrations in rivers of Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and ammonium (NH 4 ). 2. Trends in concentrations of orthophosphate and nitrate in rivers. 3. Ecological status of river and lake water bodies.
