lu_Definition:
It is used when the emission data are based on calculations using activity data (fuel used, production rate, etc.) and emission factors or mass balances. In some cases more complicated calculation methods can be applied.

lu_ShortDescription:
Point sources only - Values of emissions are based on calculations

lu_ShortDescription:
Point and diffuse sources - Values of emissions are based on non-standardised estimations


lu_Definition:
Additional calculations are needed to convert the results of measurements into annual emission data. For these calculations the results of flow determinations are needed. The method should also be used when the annual emission data are determined based on the results of short term and spot measurements.

Missing observed value, no further information is available or record reported in the past should be deleted


lu_Definition:
Observed value for given source category is included in another record representing another source category. Use the Remarks field to specify the source category(ies) under which the data is reported.
(example for SoE Emissions: It is not possible to distinguish forestry and agricultural emissions. Therefore the record for source category 'NP9 – Diffuse sources - Forestry emissions' has missing value of emissions, observation status flag = 'W' and Remarks = 'NP1', because the forestry emissions are reported together with agricultural emissions in the record having source category 'NP1 – Diffuse sources - Agricultural emissions').

lu_ShortDescription:
Missing observed value, data are included in another source category


lu_Definition:
Reported value for given source category represent the source categories which are specified in the Remarks field.
(example for SoE Emissions: Source category = 'NP' and Observation status flag = 'X' and Remarks = "NP1, NP2, NP9').

lu_ShortDescription:

lu_ShortDescription:
The source category does not exactly match the standard definition


# DEFINITIONS_DATASET_DO_NOT_MODIFY

ds_Definition:
Data on emissions is collected annually through the WISE SoE Reporting process. Data and information are primarily used to compile indicator factsheets, associated with the EEA's Core Set Indicators, upon which EEA assessment reports are based. Data collected through the WISE SoE Reporting process are also published in Waterbase, a series of water topic-specific databases, publicly accessible via the EEA Data Service's web site (http://dataservice.eea.europa.eu/dataservice/available2.asp?type=findkeyword&theme=waterbase).

ds_Methodology:
Data on the annual emission load of pollutants from point sources and diffuse sources, aggregated by spatial unit.

Emissions of all pollutants and from all types of sources (point, diffuse) are reported using a single Emissions table.

All parameters (nutrients, organic load, hazardous substances) are available in a single code list. The estimated annual loads should be expressed in tonne per year (t/a) for nutrients and organic load, and in kilogram per year (kg/a) for other pollutants. 

All source categories (point and diffuse) are available in a single code list.

1. Coverage and reference period

For calculated or measured annual loads from point sources, data providers should submit data collected up to the end of the previous year (e.g. in 2015, submit data collected until the end of 2014). If the national inventories are not compiled and delivered on a yearly basis, then a 2-year reporting interval for emission from point sources is requested.
For estimated or modeled 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.

2. Data content

Emissions 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 in 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.

Information already reported under reporting obligations on WFD, UWWTD or the E-PRTR 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.

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 or E-PRTR to the SoE Emissions. 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.

3. Source oriented approach

Submit emission data from source (gross) oriented approach. Source (gross) approaches estimate the emission to - but not within - an inland water body and do not account for retention (loss) processes within that water body. 

Load or net approaches describe a total pollutant load at the river mouth or downstream point and account for in-river processes. This is included in the "WISE SoE - Water Quality in TCM" reporting.
Direct discharges to coastal waters are part of the "WISE SoE - Water Quality in TCM" reporting.

4. Source categories

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

Point sources are categorised as follows:

PT – Point sources
  U – Point - Urban waste water
    U1 – Point - Urban waste water - untreated
      U11 – Point - Urban waste water - untreated - less than 2000 p.e.
      U12 – Point - Urban waste water - untreated - between 2000 and 10000 p.e.
      U13 – Point - Urban waste water - untreated - between 10000 and 100000 p.e.
      U14 – Point - Urban waste water - untreated - more than 100000 p.e.
    U2 – Point - Urban waste water - treated
      U21 – Point - Urban waste water - treated - less than 2000 p.e.
      U22 – Point - Urban waste water - treated - between 2000 and 10000 p.e.
      U23 – Point - Urban waste water - treated - between 10000 and 100000 p.e.
      U24 – Point - Urban waste water - treated - more than 100000 p.e.
  I – Point sources - Industrial waste water
    I3 – Point - Industrial waste water - treated
    I4 – Point - Industrial waste water - untreated
  O – Point - Other point emissions
    O1 – Point - Contaminated sites or abandoned industrial sites
    O2 – Point - Waste disposal sites
    O3 – Point - Mine waters
    O4 – Point - Aquaculture

The hierarchical structure of the point source categories allows the reporting at the level of disaggregation most compatible with the national inventories. 
Categories O1, O2, O3 and O4 were introduced in the point sources category list to allow a better alignment with the Water Framework Directive list of pressures.
Municipal/urban waste water includes water from households, SMEs, industrial waste water, and urban run-off, discharged to the municipal/urban sewer system.
Emissions from agglomerations with less than 2000 p.e. (U11 and U21) are requested only if significant (see also category NP3 under diffuse pollution).

Diffuse sources are categorised as follows:

NP – Diffuse sources
  NP1 – Diffuse - Agricultural emissions
  NP2 – Diffuse - Atmospheric deposition
  NP3 – Diffuse - Un-connected dwellings emissions
  NP4 – Diffuse - Urban run-off
  NP5 – Diffuse - Storm overflow emissions
  NP7 – Diffuse - Other diffuse emissions
    NP71 – Diffuse - Forestry emissions
    NP72 – Diffuse - Transport emissions
    NP73 – Diffuse - Mining emissions
    NP74 – Diffuse - Aquaculture emissions
  NP8 – Diffuse - Background emissions

Categories NP71, NP72, NP73 and NP74 were introduced in the diffuse sources category list to allow a better alignment with the Water Framework Directive list of pressures. 
The hierarchical structure of the NP7 category allows the reporting at the level of disaggregation most compatible with the national data.

5. Decimal separators 

Use a decimal point '.' as the decimal separator. Do not use a comma ','.

6. Missing values and other exceptional situations

If the emissions value is not reported, or in other exceptional circumstances (deleting or confirmation of the record, observed value source categories should / can be precised,...), the new field Observation status flag and the Remarks field should be used to provide further clarification.

7. Other recommendations

If detailed source category data is reported, then do NOT report redundant data from upper level source category. For example: if, for a given determinand, source categories 'I3' and 'I4' are both reported, then it is not necessary to report the sum of emissions under source category 'I'.
Exception: 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. In such case, category NP7 should be reported together with all its sub-categories NP1, NP2, NP3 and NP4.
Source categories at different hierarchical level may be reported if a full disaggregation is not available. For example, an estimate may be available for source categories 'O' and 'O1' (but disaggregated values are not available for 'O2', 'O3' and 'O4').

Please provide long time series without gaps and as complete a geographic coverage as possible. 

8. Spatial reference data

The data reported under the WISE SoE Emissions data flow must be linked to specific spatial units (a RBD sub-unit, a river basin district, or, in exceptional cases, a country), using a unique identifier. 

During the quality control procedures of the data reported under the WISE SoE Emissions, the consistency of these spatial unit identifiers will be checked against the spatial data reported under WISE (in 2015, spatial units will be reported later under WFD in 2016).

The location, identification and characteristics of new spatial units must be provided via the WISE Spatial data flow. Please note that the spatial data does not have to be reported annually. However, updates to the spatial data (e.g. new sub-units, changes in the identifiers, etc.) should be reported.

9. Reporting format and delivery

Use the reporting templates (MS Excel or XML schemas) 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 (XLS or XLSX). 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 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/.

A WISE SoE Emissions folder will be created by the EEA under your country’s collection.

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 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:
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:
Source of point emissions or of diffuse emissions

e_Definition:
See the code list values for a definition of each category.

e_Methodology:
This is a required value.

The hierarchical structure of the point source categories allows the reporting at the level of disaggregation most compatible with the national inventories. 
Categories O1, O2, O3 and O4 were introduced in the point sources category list to allow a better alignment with the Water Framework Directive list of pressures.
Emissions from agglomerations with less than 2000 p.e. (U11 and U21) are requested only if significant (see also category NP3 under diffuse pollution).

Categories NP71, NP72, NP73 and NP74 were introduced in the diffuse sources category list to allow a better alignment with the Water Framework Directive list of pressures. 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.
The hierarchical structure of the NP7 category allows the reporting at the level of disaggregation most compatible with the national data. 

If the categories NP7 (Other Diffuse Emissions) or O (Other Point Emissions) are used, please describe the emissions source(s) details in the Remarks field.


e_Definition:
Information if the Emission value is aggregated from E-PRTR Facilities or from non-E-PRTR Facilities or from both together. See codelist for details.

e_Methodology:
This value is a 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-categories greater than 2000 p.e. (U22, U23, 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)


e_Definition:
Annual emission of nutrients (tonne/year), organic matter (tonne/year) or hazardous substances (kg/year) from a specific source of emissions, aggregated by spatial unit.

e_Methodology:
If the emissions value is not available, not known, not relevant, not significant or if emisisons data are included in another emissions source category, please do not use a zero value, but keep the "Emissions value" field empty and fill the "Observation status flag" field by appropriate code ('O','M','L','N' or 'W'), as described in the codelist for that field.

If the 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 range of years is used in the field "Reference period", provide average annual value of emissions for specified period.

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. It is not necessary to apply this flag for 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 it also to identify previously reported records that should be deleted.

- 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:

- 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.

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


# DEFINITIONS_TABLES_DO_NOT_MODIFY

tbl_Name:
Emissions from point and diffuse sources

tbl_Definition:
Annual emissions of nutrients, organic matter and hazardous substances from point discharges and diffuse sources to inland surface waters, aggregated by pollutant and spatial unit.

tbl_Methodology:
The combination of the values in the fields 'Spatial unit identifier' and 'Spatial unit identifier scheme' creates the unique identifier for the spatial unit.

Field 'observedPropertyDeterminandCode' contains the unique identifier of the pollutant.

If the emission value is not available, not known, not relevant or not significant, then keep the 'resultEmissionsValue' field empty and select the correct code for the 'resultObservationStatus' field instead. This field can be also used to describe situations when the specific source category does not follow the standard definition.

tbl_ShortDescription:
Emissions of pollutants from point and diffuse sources.
