‘Direct Discharges (total)’ refers to the aggregated discharges from all point sources with
direct discharge to receiving waters in the country belonging to coastal or transitional water
bodies in the context of WFD. Riverine fluxes are not included in D0. Any aquaculture
facilities, as already reported in E-PRTR, should be included in D0.
‘Urban Waste Water Untreated’ refers to municipal wastewater that is collected but
discharged without treatment.
‘Urban Waste Water Treated’ refers to the discharge of municipal waste water following
treatment in an UWWTP. Such wastewater may have come originally from domestic and
industrial sources. In addition, it includes any urban runoff, generated during rainfall, which is
collected and directed to a treatment plant. Ideally, such treated discharges should not
include stormflows that exceed the storage capacity of the system. However, if only
combined data is available then please flag.
‘Industrial Waste Water Treated’ refers only to the discharge of treated industrial waste water
from independently operated industrial WWTPs and not that discharged from municipal
treatment plants
‘Industrial Waste Water Untreated’ refers to discharges of industrial wastewater that remain
untreated.
‘Urban Diffuse’ refers only to those emissions of pollutants in urban runoff that are not
connected to a wastewater collecting system. Runoff from paved surfaces via separate
stormwater drainage systems as well as diffuse runoff without drainage systems is included.
‘Storm Overflows’ – refers to discharges/emissions of combined sewer overflow to a
receiving water following exceedance of the storage capacity of the collecting/treatment
system during heavy ‘storm’ rainfall. Ideally, this discharge should be separate from that
referred to under ‘Urban Waste Water Treated’ but if data are only available as combined
then please include as comments.
