EMODnet Human Activities, Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, Treatment Plants
Short description
The datset on coastal Urban Waste Water Treatment Plant (UWWTP) was created in 2019 by AZTI for the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet). It is based on the dataset "Waterbase-UWWTD" (Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive – reported data) provided by the European Topic Centre on Inland, Coastal and Marine waters, and made available at https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/datahub/datahubitem-view/6244937d-1c2c-47f5-bdf1-33ca01ff1715. The datset is available for viewing and download on EMODnet - Human Activities web portal (https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/en/human-activities). Based on data selected from the reporting of Member States as part of the UWWTD implementation, the dataset presents the available information (location, capacity and actual load treated, type of treatment, aggregated data on the performance of plants) on individual UWWTP, and collecting systems without UWWTP, located in NUTS3 regions bordering transitional, coastal and marine waters. The geographic coverage is: Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom. The description of all attribute fields of UWWTP is given in the Waterbase-UWWTD (https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/datahub/datahubitem-view/6244937d-1c2c-47f5-bdf1-33ca01ff1715). In this update, data provided by several countries during 2022 (Waterbase reported under UWWTD data call 2021; version 10 publised 15 January 2023) are included.

Lineage
The dataset is originally provided as a GIS shapefile (UWWTD GIS shapefile: UWWTP.shp). We have considered all UWWTP that are located in coastal NUTS 3 regions, those that limit with transitional and/or coastal water bodies (as defined in the Water Framework Directive). Validation and quality assurance remain up to primary data sources.
