Name Annual biology EQR data by monitoring site
Short Description Annually aggregated biological ecological quality ratio (EQR) data from rivers, lakes, transitional and coastal waters, by monitoring site.
Definition Annually aggregated biological ecological quality ratio (EQR) data from rivers, lakes, transitional and coastal waters, by monitoring site.
Methodology for obtaining data Biological data should be reported as national Ecological Quality Ratios (EQR) and/or as normalised EQR values. For information on calculating normalised EQR values, see http://dd.eionet.europa.eu/visuals/BiologyEQRSchem...

Each record in this table must have a unique combination of the values in these fields (no duplicates can exist):
- monitoringSiteIdentifier
- monitoringSiteIdentifierScheme
- observedPropertyDeterminandBiologyEQRCode
- phenomenonTimeReferenceYear

The monitoring site is uniquely identified by combination of values in the fields:
- monitoringSiteIdentifier
- monitoringSiteIdentifierScheme

The monitoring site identifier should be present in the list of monitoring sites that is kept updated with the data reported under the WISE Spatial Data (WISE-5) and the WFD 2016 Spatial data flows.

The value "parameterNCSWaterBodyType" reported in this table must be identical to a value "parameterNCSWaterBodyType" reported in the table BiologyEQRClassificationProcedure. Intercalibration water body types are preferred as the parameterNCSWaterBodyType to be reported, as far as possible.
