Waterbase

This page provides a description and a link to a "Waterbase" database that provides information needed when modeling exposure levels or performing exposure assessment.

Short description

Waterbase is the generic name given to the EEA's databases on the status and quality (pesticides in grounf water, nutrients and organic matter) of Europe's rivers, lakes, groundwater bodies and transitional, coastal and marine waters, and on the quantity of Europe's water resources. 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.
