Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, Waterbase reported under UWWTD data call 2016 (Tabular data)
Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive concerns the collection, treatment and discharge of urban waste water and the treatment and discharge of waste water from certain industrial sectors. The objective of the Directive is to protect the environment from the adverse effects of the above mentioned waste water discharges.
The dataset contains data selected from the reporting of Member States as part of the UWWTD implementation. The dataset is divided into tables on: reported period, receiving areas, agglomerations, urban waste water treatment plants (UWWTPs), links agglomerations – UWWTPs, discharge points, and (at Member State level) sludge handling and treated waste water re-use. 3 codelist tables (big cities, NUTS, common list of values) and 3 add-on tables (for agglomerations, UWWTPs and MSLevel) are included as well.

- Additional Information
-
The directive imposes different reporting obligations (Situation report according to Article 16 and implementation programme according to Article 17). The data presented in the UWWTD Waterbase pertains to Article 15 of the Directive, which stipulates that discharges from urban waste water treatment and amounts and composition of sludges disposed to surface waters must be monitored to verify the compliance with specific provisions of the Directive.
Some technical insight and familiarity with the terms and contexts used for the implementation of the UWWTD is required to make use of the tables.
By linking the information in the tables on agglomerations, WTTP, discharge points and receiving areas it is possible to obtain a complete picture showing what type of treatment is applied to treat waste water generated in specific agglomeration, what is the character of the area (e.g. water body) receiving discharges from waste water treatment plans or collecting systems without treatment.
The content of the table with additional data can be used for further quantitative analyses on emissions from UWWTPs with different types of treatment and various size categories. A QA-document describes a flagging of some of the provided data according to certain criteria. These flags should be considered by the user for specific purposes.
All the tables from Waterbase can be downloaded for use by all stakeholders according to below Rights. Lists and explanation of codes can also be shown and downloaded from Additional information - Code Lists. Link to further details on reporting guidelines is given from below Reporting Obligations.
