# DEFINITIONS_DATASET_DO_NOT_MODIFY

ds_Definition:
Data on:
Emissions: annual load of nutrients, organic matter and other chemical substances from point and diffuse sources, spatially aggregated at river basin district (RBD) or river basin district sub-unit level to inland surface, transitional  and coastal  waters.

Riverine inputs: annual riverine input load of nutrients, organic matter and other chemical substances at the monitoring site level (quality and flow rate stations).

Note: There are no plans to request Direct discharges in the current (2022) or in future data calls. It is planned to restructure the dataflow in this respect for the next reporting cycle (expected in 2023).
Direct discharges: annual load of nutrients, organic matter and other chemical substances directly discharged to transitional and coastal waters, aggregated at the water body level.

ds_Methodology:
Emissions data should be submitted based on a source (gross) oriented approach. Source (gross) oriented approaches estimate the emission to - but not within - a water body and do not account for retention (loss) processes within that water body.
Riverine input loads describe a total pollutant load at the river mouth or a downstream point and account for in-river processes.

All parameters (nutrients, organic matter and other chemical substances) and the requested related units of measure are available in a single code list. The estimated annual loads are expressed in tonne per year (t/a) or in kilogram per year (kg/a) depending on the substance (https://cdr.eionet.europa.eu/help/WISE_SoE/wise1/WISE1_ObservedProperty_QC_reference.xlsx).

1. Reference period
Emissions: for annual loads from point sources, data collected from the beginning to the end of the previous year should be submitted (e.g. for 2022 call, submit data related to year 2021). If the national inventories are not compiled and delivered on a yearly basis, then a 2-year reporting interval for emissions from point sources is requested.
For estimated or modelled annual loads from diffuse sources, a maximum 6-year reporting interval is requested, but if new data are available, a 3-year reporting interval is appreciated.

Riverine inputs: annual riverine input loads collected from the beginning to the end of the previous year should be submitted (e.g. for 2022 call, submit data related to year 2021). The data should be derived from existing national or regional monitoring programmes within each EEA Member Country.

2. Spatial reference
For the spatial reference, existing spatial identifiers needs to be used. During the quality control procedures of the data reported, the consistency of these spatial identifiers will be checked against the spatial data already reported under the WISE Spatial data flows (WFD Spatial Data for countries reporting under the Water Framework Directive, WISE-5 for the remaining countries). The location, identification and characteristics of new spatial units or monitoring sites must be provided via the WISE Spatial data flows. Please note that the spatial data don't have to be reported annually. However, updates to the spatial data (e.g. new sub-units, changes in the identifiers, etc.) must be reported before the spatial identifiers can be used to report the associated time series under WISE-1.

Emissions: data should be reported at the RBD sub-unit level for all parameters and source categories. If reporting at sub-unit level is not possible (or if the river basin district is not divided into sub-units), then data should be aggregated by river basin district. Reporting at country level should be used only in the exceptional cases when river basin districts are not delineated.

Riverine inputs: data are requested at the monitoring site level (quality and flow rate station).

3. Data content
Information already reported under reporting obligations on WFD, UWWTD, the E-PRTR or the Marine Conventions is not expected to be re-submitted under WISE SoE Emissions. For each relevant substance, annual emissions already reported under E-PRTR will be included in the European data set (Waterbase - Emissions). Available data (including those reported under WFD and UWWTD) will be used in developing subsequent assessments. Regarding the synergies with the WFD, reporting under the WFD obligation (http://rod.eionet.europa.eu/obligations/715) can refer to data reported here under the WISE SoE data flow.

However, to improve the quality of these assessments, it would be much appreciated if Member Countries could provide data more detailed or more complete than those reported under the WFD, UWWTD, E-PRTR or the Marine Conventions to the SoE Emissions.

4. Source categories for Emissions
Emission data should be submitted for different source categories. Source categories are hierarchically structured, which allows the reporting at the level(s) of disaggregation most compatible with the national inventories.
When, within the same spatial unit for a source category, data is reported at a lower level, then do NOT report data already included at an upper level. Similarly, do not include data reported at a lower level in a higher level source category.

For example:
- If, for a certain spatial unit and a given determinand, sub-source categories 'I3' and/or 'I4' are reported, the sum of emissions under source category 'I' must not be reported.
- If, for a certain spatial unit and a given determinand, source categories 'I' is reported, the emissions under sub-source category 'I3' and/or 'I4' must not be reported.
Within the same RBD or sub-unit, for a particular source category and a particular substance, values must be reported at the same hierarchical level.
All source categories (point and diffuse) are available in a single code list.

Point sources are categorised as follows:

PT – Point sources (PT = U + I +O)
U – Point - Urban waste water treated and untreated (U = U1 + U2)
U1 – Point - Urban waste water - untreated (U1 = U11 + U12 + U13 + U14)
U11 – Point - Urban waste water - untreated - less than 2 000 p.e.
U12 – Point - Urban waste water - untreated - in agglomerations between 2 000 and 10 000 p.e.
U13 – Point - Urban waste water - untreated - between 10 000 and 100 000 p.e.
U14 – Point - Urban waste water - untreated - more than 100 000 p.e.
U2 – Point - Urban waste water treated (U2 = U21 + U22 + U23 + U24)
U21 – Point - Urban waste water - treated - less than 2 000 p.e.
U22 – Point - Urban waste water - treated - between 2 000 and 10 000 p.e.
U23 – Point - Urban waste water - treated - between 10 000 and 100 000 p.e.
U24 – Point - Urban waste water - treated - more than 100 000 p.e.
I – Point sources - Industrial waste water (I = I3 + I4)
I3 – Point - Industrial waste water - treated
I4 – Point - Industrial waste water - untreated
O – Point - Other point emissions (O = O1 + O2 + O3 + O4 + O5)
O1 – Point - Contaminated sites or abandoned industrial sites
O2 – Point - Waste disposal sites
O3 – Point - Mine waters
O4 – Point - Aquaculture
O5 – Point - Other


Diffuse sources are categorised as follows:

NP – Diffuse sources (NP = NP1 + NP2 + …+ NP8)
NP1 – Diffuse - Agricultural emissions
NP2 – Diffuse - Atmospheric deposition
NP3 – Diffuse - Unconnected dwellings emissions
NP4 – Diffuse - Urban run-off
NP5 – Diffuse - Storm overflow emissions
NP7 – Diffuse - Other diffuse emissions (NP7 = NP71 + NP72 + … + NP75)
NP71 – Diffuse - Forestry emissions
NP72 – Diffuse - Transport emissions
NP73 – Diffuse - Mining emissions
NP74 – Diffuse - Aquaculture emissions
NP75 – Diffuse - Other
NP8 – Diffuse - Background emissions

Sub-categories for other point sources (O1 - O5) and other diffuse sources (NP71 - NP75) were introduced to allow a better alignment with the Water Framework Directive list of pressures.
Point emissions from urban waste water untreated or from urban treatment plants in sub-categories U11 and U21, as well as diffuse emissions from unconnected dwellings in sub-category NP3 are requested only if significant.

A phased approach to reporting is expected, with the detail of emission apportionment increasing progressively over time.

5. Formats and data delivery
Decimal separators: Use a decimal point '.' as decimal separator. Do not use a comma ','.

Missing values: If the emission value or the riverine input value is not reported, or in other exceptional circumstances described in the relevant code list, the fields "resultObservationStatus" (Observation status flag) and, if needed, "Remarks" (Remarks) should be used to provide further clarification.

Data delivery: Use the reporting templates (MS Excel (.xls or .xlsx) or XML) and these specifications when formatting and collating the data delivery. The templates can be downloaded under the following link (https://dd.eionet.europa.eu/datasets/latest/Emissi... see Exports).

Please do not use formulas in MS Excel files and do not rename the worksheets or column names. The file name can be changed.

Upload the data using Reportnet 3 https://reportnet.europa.eu/. See https://cdr.eionet.europa.eu/help/WISE_SoE/wise1 for reporting guidance.

If you have any questions about the format and content of the data request please contact the WISE SoE helpdesk, e-mail: wisesoe.helpdesk@eionet.europa.eu


# DEFINITIONS_ELEMENTS_DO_NOT_MODIFY

e_Definition:
Unique international identifier of the water body in which the data were obtained.

e_Methodology:
This value is required.

If the water body was reported as a WFD water body, enter the WFD identifier of the water body (EUSurfaceWaterBodyCode for rivers and lakes water bodies, EUGroundwaterBodyCode for groundwater bodies).

If the water body was not reported as a WFD water body, enter the EIONET international identifier of the water body.

The "waterBodyIdentifier" is a unique value in the list of water bodies for a given "waterBodyIdentifierScheme". For each "waterBodyIdentifierSheme" value, a list of valid "waterBodyIdentifier" values will be kept updated, based on the information reported under the WISE Spatial data flow.

First 2 characters must be the 2-alpha character ISO country code (use 'EL' for Greece and 'UK' for the United Kingdom).

Do not use characters with accents and other diacritical marks (national characters). Do not use spaces or other special characters. The hyphen '-' and the underscore '_' characters are allowed.

An EIONET identifier can be created by prefixing the national water body identifier with the 2-alpha character ISO country code.
Example: country: Austria, national water body identifier: WB_abc => "waterBodyIdentifier": ATWB_abc

Please guarantee that the "waterBodyIdentifier" is unique and exists in the applicable "waterBodyIdentifierScheme".


e_Definition:
Specification of whether the water body is a WFD water body ('euGroundwaterBodyCode' or 'euSurfaceWaterBodyCode') or not ('eionetGroundwaterBodyCode' or 'eionetSurfaceWaterBodyCode').

e_Methodology:
This value is required.

If the water body is reported under WFD, use the value 'euGroundwaterBodyCode' or 'euSurfaceWaterBodyCode' for the "waterBodyIdentifierScheme" field.

If the water body is NOT reported under WFD (e.g. non-EU countries reporting under WISE SoE only, or countries providing information about water bodies that are not WFD water bodies), use the value 'eionetGroundwaterBodyCode' or 'eionetSurfaceWaterBodyCode' for the "waterBodyIdentifierScheme" field.

For each identifier scheme, a list of valid "waterBodyIdentifier" values will be kept updated, based on the information reported under the WISE Spatial data flow.


e_Definition:
Year during which the data were sampled.

e_Methodology:
This is a required, not null field.

Use the format YYYY.

Please check the EEA data collection request for the latest acceptable year.


e_Definition:
Unique code of the determinand monitored, as defined in the codelist.

e_Methodology:
This value is required.

Please note that CAS numbers are used where applicable. In the other cases a EEA generated code is used. Prefix "CAS_" is used for the unique codes based on the CAS number, prefix "EEA_" for the EEA codes.

The structure of the EEA code is similar to that of the CAS number:
- The first set of digits identifies the WFD quality element
- The second set of digits is a sequential number
- The last digit is a check digit.

This list is also used in the WFD reporting.


e_Name:
Emissions and Riverine input load unit of measure

e_Definition:
Unit of measure of the reported emissions and riverine input value.

e_Methodology:
This value is required if an Emission or a Riverine input value (resultEmissionsValue) is provided.

The emission value and riverine input loads are expressed in tonne per year (t/a) or kilogram per year (kg/a) depending on the substance. All parameters and the requested related units of measure are available in a single code list (see https://cdr.eionet.europa.eu/help/WISE_SoE/wise1/WISE1_ObservedProperty_QC_reference.xlsx).

If the emission/riverine input load value is not available, not known, not relevant, not significant, if emissions data are included in another emissions source category or if riverine input values could not be calculated because most/all value were < limit of quantification (LoQ), please do not use a zero value, but keep the resultEmissionsValue field empty and fill the resultObservationStatus field by appropriate code for emissions ('O','M','L','N' or 'W') or riverine input loads ('O', 'L', or 'N'), as described in the codelist for that field. 
For riverine input loads the following resultObservationStatus codes should not be used: ‘M’, ‘W’, ‘X’ and ‘Y’.
If an emissions value is filled and the emission source category can be specified more in details, please use the "Observation status flag" codelist options 'X' or 'Y'.

If an emission value refers to a range of years specified in the field phenomenonTimeReferenceYear, provide average annual value of emissions for the specified period.


e_Definition:
Details of discharge estimate, as defined in the codelist.

e_Methodology:
A value from the codelist must be selected.


e_Name:
Source of point emissions or of diffuse emissions

e_Definition:
Hierarchical structured code list values for a definition of each category.

e_Methodology:
This is a required value.

The hierarchical structure of the point and diffuse source categories allows the reporting at the level of disaggregation most compatible with the national data and inventories. 
Sub-categories for other point sources (O1 - O5) and other diffuse sources (NP71 - NP75) were introduced to allow a better alignment with the Water Framework Directive list of pressures. 
Emissions from urban waste water treatment plants with less than 2 000 p.e. (U11 and U21) and diffuse emissions from unconnected dwellings (NP3) are requested only if significant.

The category NP7 can cover not only the sub-categories NP71 .. NP74, but also emissions from other diffuse sources not included in these sub-categories and missing in the diffuse sources list.

If the categories for other point or diffuse sources (‘NP7’, ‘NP75’ ‘O’, ‘O5’) are used, please describe the emissions source(s) details in the “Remarks” field.


e_Definition:
Status of the observed value in terms of its availability, relevancy, correctness or specifics of its source category.

e_Methodology:
- Use the 'A' observation status flag to confirm that the given record is correct. The flag should not be applied to all valid records. It is intended for confirmation of extremely high or low values or for other special cases where confirmation is needed or is relevant.

The following four codes ('O', 'M', 'L', 'N') are applicable to missing or zero values:

- Use the 'O' observation status flag if the value is missing and no further information is available as to the reason why.

- Use the 'M' observation status flag if the value is missing because the data cannot exist (e.g. the value can't be reported due to a missing observed value source in the respective spatial unit).

- Use the 'L' observation status flag if the value is missing because the data was not collected.

- Use the 'N' observation status flag if the value is missing because it isn't relevant or significant. 

Three codes ('W', 'X' and 'Y') describe situations where the specific source categories do not follow the standard definition (applicable only for WISE-1 Emissions):

- Use the 'W' observation status flag if the observed value for a specific source category is missing because the data is reported under other source categories. Use the "Remarks" field to specify the other source categories.

- Use the 'X' observation status flag if the reported value for a specific source category includes data from other source categories. Use the "Remarks" field to specify the other source categories represented by the reported value.

- Use the 'Y' observation status flag if the definition of a specific source category does not exactly match the standard definition, because it includes also other sources not belonging to the specific category. Use the "Remarks" field to provide additional information on the other sources.

- Use 'Z' observation status flag to identify previously reported records that should be deleted. Explanation for the reason why it should be deleted can be provided in the Remarks field.


e_Methodology:
This field can be used to provide additional information about the record.


e_Definition:
Unique international identifier of the spatial unit for which the data is being reported.

e_Methodology:
This value is required.

If the spatial unit is a WFD sub-unit:
- use the European unique identifier reported under the "Water Framework Directive - River Basin Management Plans - 2016 Spatial data" obligation;
- use 'euSubUnitCode' in the field spatialUnitIdentifierScheme.

If the spatial unit is a Water Framework Directive (WFD) River Basin District (RBD):
- use the European unique identifier reported under the "Water Framework Directive - River Basin Management Plans - 2016 Spatial data" obligation;
- use 'euRBDCode' in the field spatialUnitIdentifierScheme.

For spatial units not reported under the Water Framework Directive:
- use the unique EIONET code of the spatial unit;
- use 'eionetSubUnitCode' or 'eionetRBDCode', as applicable, in the field spatialUnitIdentifierScheme.
Note that the geometry and characteristics of the spatial unit should then be reported under the "WISE - Spatial Data (WISE-5)" data flow.

If the spatial unit is the country:
- use the 2-alpha character ISO country code. The following exceptions apply: for Greece use 'EL'; for the United Kingdom, use 'UK', and
- use 'countryCode' in the field spatialUnitIdentifierScheme.


e_Definition:
Specification of whether the spatial unit is a country ('countryCode'), a Water Framework Directive river basin district ('euRBDCode') or a Water Framework Directive sub-unit ('euSubUnitCode'). For data providers that do not report under the WFD, spatial units equivalent to river basin districts ('eionetRBDCode') or sub-units ('eionetSubUnitCode') should be used.


e_Name:
Reference period (year or range of years)

e_Definition:
The year or range of years to which the data applies.

e_Methodology:
This is a required value.
Use the format YYYY for a single reference year (preferred). 
Use the format YYYY--YYYY for a range of years. Please note the two consecutive hyphens separating the initial year from the final year. 
Note that if a range of years is provided, then the value reported should be the annual average value over the specified period.


e_Definition:
Information if the Emission value is aggregated from all Facilities (E-PRTR and non-EPRTR) or from non-E-PRTR Facilities only.

e_Methodology:
This value is required for emissions from point sources, which are relevant for E-PRTR reporting, i.e. from following source categories:
PT (total point sources)
U (total urban waste water discharges)
U2 (urban waste water treated) and its sub-category greater than 100 000 p.e. (U24)
I (industrial waste water) and all its sub-categories (I3, I4)
O (other point sources) and all its sub-categories (O1, O2, O3, O4, O5)

To avoid double reporting, the emissions from the E-PRTR facilities only should not be reported here, but through the respective E-PRTR dataflow. The EEA will extract the relevant data from the E-PRTR dataset directly, after the deliveries are processed.


e_Name:
Method used for determining the emissions value

e_Definition:
Method used in the quantification of the emissions value.

e_Methodology:
See description in the codelist options.


e_Definition:
Unique international identifier of the monitoring site in which the data were obtained.

e_Methodology:
This value is required.

If the site was reported as a WFD monitoring site, enter the WFD identifier of the site.

If the site was reported as an EIONET monitoring site, enter the EIONET international identifier of the site.

The "monitoringSiteIdentifier" is a unique value in the list of monitoring sites for a given "monitoringSiteIdentifierScheme". For each "monitoringSiteIdentifierScheme" value, a list of valid "monitoringSiteIdentifier" values will be kept updated, based on the information reported under the WISE Spatial data flow.

First 2 characters must be the 2-alpha character ISO country code (use 'EL' for Greece and 'UK' for the United Kingdom).

Do not use characters with accents and other diacritical marks (national characters). Do not use spaces or other spatial characters. The hyphen '-' and the underscore '_' characters are allowed.

An EIONET identifier can be created by prefixing the national site identifier with the 2-alpha character ISO country code.
Example: country: Austria, national station identifier : ST_123 => "monitoringSiteIdentifier": ATST_123

Please guarantee that the "monitoringSiteIdentifier" is unique and exists in the applicable "monitoringSiteIdentifierScheme".


e_Definition:
Specification of whether the monitoring site is a WFD monitoring site ('euMonitoringSiteCode') or not ('eionetMonitoringSiteCode').

e_Methodology:
This value is required.

If the monitoring site is reported under WFD, use the value 'euMonitoringSiteCode' for the "MonitoringSiteIdentifierScheme" field.

If the monitoring site is NOT reported under WFD (e.g. non-EU countries reporting under WISE SoE only, or countries providing information about monitoring sites that are not WFD monitoring sites), use the value 'eionetMonitoringSiteCode' for the "MonitoringSiteIdentifierScheme" field.

For each identifier scheme, a list of valid "MonitoringSiteIdentifier" values will be kept updated, based on the information reported under the WISE Spatial data flow.


# DEFINITIONS_TABLES_DO_NOT_MODIFY

tbl_Definition:
Data on direct discharges to transitional, coastal and marine waters are requested from EEA Member Countries and Marine Conventions on an annual basis.

tbl_Methodology:
Data providers are requested to provide data on yearly direct discharges to transitional, coastal and marine waters.

1. Coverage and reference period

The data should be derived from existing national or regional monitoring programs within each EEA Member Country.

Submit data collected up to the end of the previous year (e.g. in 2017, submit data collected until the end of 2016).

2. Data content

Loads of direct discharges are requested as annual values and should be estimated with details of the type of estimation provided.

All determinands (nutrients, hazardous substances and supportive determinands) are coded using a unique identifier. The estimated annual loads should be expressed in tonnes per year for nutrients and organic load, and in kilograms per year for other pollutants. 

3. Spatial reference data

The data reported must be linked to a transitional or coastal water body (as defined by the WFD), using a unique identifier. If the monitoring site or water body is reported under the WFD, then use the WFD identifier as the unique identifier.

4. Reporting format and delivery

Use the reporting templates (MS Excel, XML schemas or MS Access) and these specifications when formatting and collating the data delivery. The templates can be downloaded from the data dictionary.

Data can be delivered in XML files or in MS Excel file format. Please do not use formulas in MS Excel files and do not rename the worksheets or column names. The file name can be renamed.

Delivery can be split into a multiple files if necessary. All the files must, however, be uploaded to the same envelope.

Upload the data files to the Central Data Repository at http://cdr.eionet.europa.eu/.

If you have any questions about the format and content of the data request please contact WISE-SoE helpdesk, e-mail: wisetcm.helpdesk@eionet.europa.eu
