The bathing water indicators describe the changes over time in the quality of identified bathing waters (inland and coastal) in EU in terms of compliance with standards for parameters introduced by the EU Bathing Water Directive (76/160/EEC), as well as in terms of meet- ing standards for parameters introduced by the New Bathing Water Directive (2006/7/EC). The indicators also show bathing water qual- ity results in the European countries and European sea regions. The indicators are based on the annual reports made by Member States.

The indicators have been filtered for the MOSES regions and marine category. The waste generation and treatment indicators have been obtained from Eurostat at NUTS2 level and we have disaggregated the data at NUTS3 level using the population of the regions avalaible at Eurostat.
