				<dd3:Methodology><![CDATA[Many EEA Member Countries have previously submitted data on Nitrate in groundwater. The chemical quality data, the physical characteristics of, and proxy pressures on the groundwater bodies, up to the last year of requested data, are available to be viewed and downloaded from the publicly accessible Waterbase, hosted by the EEA Data Service at: http://dataservice.eea.europa.eu/dataservice/metadetails.asp?id=832.

Data providers are asked to check and validate their published data, and include any amendments in their next delivery of data.

Data on Nitrate are requested as disaggregated data but can be provided as annually aggregated values, if preferred. On aggregation, sample concentration values recorded as below the limit of detection or quantification should be replaced with a value equivalent to half the limit of detection or quantification.

The following fields combine to create a unique record: EWN-Code, Year and Value. No duplicate records should exist within this combination.

We would like to encourage all countries to provide data on Nitrate in groundwater, for as long a time series as possible.]]></dd3:Methodology>
