# Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, Agglomerations reported under UWWTD data call 2019 - PUBLIC VERSION, Jan. 2022 (Spatial data)

UWWTD Agglomerations, Jan. 2022 is one of the datasets produced within the frame of the reporting under 11th UWWTD Art.15 reporting period  (UWWTD data call 2019). 

The Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD) (91/271/EEC) obliges Member States to report data on the implementation of the Directive upon request from the European Commission bi-annually. Reported data include receiving areas as designated under UWWTD, agglomerations, urban waste water treatment plants serving the agglomerations and points of discharges. 

Dataset UWWTD_Agglomerations contains agglomerations reported by countries with generated load ≥ 2000 p.e. (or even smaller), including names, coordinates, generated load and information whether the load generated is collected through collecting system or addressed via Individual Appropriate Systems (IAS) or not collected not addressed via IAS.

This dataset includes the reported agglomerations which are displayed on the UWWTD maps (https://www.eea.europa.eu/themes/water/european-waters/water-use-and-environmental-pressures/uwwtd/interactive-maps/urban-waste-water-treatment-maps-3). The active agglomerations with correct coordinates in the reported data were selected from the source European UWWTD tabular dataset, which is available on the download link https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/waterbase-uwwtd-urban-waste-water-treatment-directive-7. 
The definition of the UWWTD Agglomerations dataset attributes (fields) is available on the link https://dd.eionet.europa.eu/datasets/latest/UWWTDArt15/tables/Agglomerations
The internal dataset which includes the inactive agglomerations as well is available under "Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, Agglomerations reported under UWWTD data call 2019 - INTERNAL VERSION, Jan. 2022".

In comparison to the previous version (Nov. 2020), late redeliveries and corrections provided by several countries during 2021 are included in current revision. Next, the dataset is provided in GeoPackage and ESRI File geodatabase formats instead of shapefile used up to now, to avoid truncation of attribute names.https://sdi.eea.europa.eu/geonetwork/srv/api/records/7c26ff2c-d1b1-4533-95e6-29b34d29fe0e
