Bathing water quality in Europe - Web Services
The bathing water quality data services include all coastal and inland bathing waters reported and assessed in the European Union Member States, Albania, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
The data is reported annually in the scope of the Bathing Water Directive (Directive 2006/7/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 February 2006, BWD) reporting obligations.
Each bathing water is assessed for three statuses:
1) monitoring calendar status,
2) management status,
3) bathing water quality status.
The monitoring calendar status evaluates the implementation of the monitoring calendar in the last reported season (as defined in Annex IV of the Bathing Water Directive).
The management status evaluates the management in the last assessment period, whether the bathing water was continuously monitored or not.
The bathing quality status evaluates the quality of bathing waters according to the two microbiological parameters: Escherichia coli and Intestinal enterococci (as defined in Annexes I and II of the Bathing Water Directive).
The bathing water quality is classified in one of four classes: “Excellent”, “Good”, “Sufficient” or “Poor”.
The status “Not classified” is applied if there are not enough available samples to evaluate the water quality.
The data service in https://discodata.eea.europa.eu/ contains the results of the bathing water status since 1990 :
[WISE_BWD].[latest].[assessment_BathingWaterStatus]
It also contains the reported data in the following tables:
