Dataset contains data selected from reporting of member and collaborating countries on emissions of nutrients and hazardous substances to water, aggregated within River Basin Districts. Reported data have been assessed and processed by the ETC/ICM and the EEA. Results of quality assessment have been incorporated into the individual data tables. ***WARNING:*** Records, where errors and other quality issues and inconsistencies have been detected, have been removed from the dataset only in the most severe cases (missing primary key values, duplicates...). The other "problematic" records are left in. Each data table contains a set of special QA fields which are used to flag the particular quality issues detected in the individual records. The QA fields and flag codes are described in the QA documentation.
