Hydrographical pressure along European coastlines, Jan. 2020

This raster dataset presents the number of different hydrographical pressures per grid cell along the European coastlines. Hydrographical pressures are human activities that cause changes in hydrological conditions, i.e. changes to freshwater input, salinity, seawater flows, waves, currents, and temperature. Examples of such activities include riverine or coastal dams, offshore infrastructure, and outflows from power plants.


The layer has been created using the Water Framework Directive (WFD) reported data on hydrographical pressures joined with the water body polygon features for the reference year 2016. The dataset was then rasterized into the EEA 10 km grid, and the cell values assigned with the number of different hydrographical pressures in the area covered by the cell.


This dataset has been prepared for the calculation of the combined effect index, produced for the ETC/ICM Report 4/2019 "Multiple pressures and their combined effects in Europe's seas" available on: https://www.eionet.europa.eu/etcs/etc-icm/etc-icm-report-4-2019-multiple-pressures-and-their-combined-effects-in-europes-seas- 1.

Statement

The dataset was created by joining hydrographical pressures listed in the Water Framework Directive 2016 reporting with spatial data on European water bodies. The WFD data was in table format and listed the total amount of different pressures per water body. The table (i.e. the total amount of pressures) was joined with water body polygon features, downloaded from EEA and Eionet. The polygon features were then converted to the EEA 10 km grid.
