Name 4. NO3 concentrations in surface water
Short Description NO3 values for each surface water monitoring station
Definition NO3 concentrations measured in each surface water monitoring station.
Methodology for obtaining data Data on surface water monitoring stations are collected for each reporting period (4 year period). For each station the average (mean) annual and winter concentrations for NO3 over one or more years and the maximum value for NO3 in this period have to be reported. If the same station has been used for monitoring in the previous period, a trend value (average current reporting period - average previous (3rd) reporting period) has to be indicated. This table should be used for all surface water monitoring stations. Discrimination between the surface water entities (river, lake, etc.) can be made by indicating the "Station type"
The combination of the elements CountryCode, NationalStationCode and StationType must create a unique record in the table.
