EU bathing water sites — Greece and Croatia, 2025 status

Checksums: SHA256SUMS. Machine-readable schema and licensing: datapackage.json.

Classification distribution

Each cell shows two percentages: share of all rows in that line (including any “new” or “not-classified” rows), and — for the four Directive classes only — share of classified rows (excellent + good + sufficient + poor). “New” and “not-classified” rows have no classified share: they're excluded from that total by definition. The classified basis is the one the data notes use (e.g. “share excellent”). See How EU bathing water is classified for why that distinction matters.

First 10 rows, sorted by site_id.

Column schema

site_idstring

EEA bathing water identifier (bathingWaterIdentifier).

namestring

Site name, title-cased where the source used capitals.

countrystring

ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (GR or HR).

regionstring

Natural Earth admin-1 region name (name_en); null if not assigned.

region_match_methodstring

How the region was assigned: inside (point in polygon), nearest_within_5km, or none (ambiguous or no region within 5 km — region is null).

region_assignment_distance_kmnumber

0 when region_match_method is inside; the distance in km to the matched region when nearest_within_5km; null when region_match_method is none (no region was assigned, so no assignment distance applies).

latnumber

Latitude, WGS 84 (datum as published by EEA, not independently verified).

lonnumber

Longitude, WGS 84 (datum as published by EEA, not independently verified).

water_typestring

coastal, transitional, inland, or unknown.

classification_2025string

excellent, good, sufficient, poor, not-classified, new, or unknown. "new" and "not-classified" both come from the EEA source's quality code "0 - Not classified"; "new" is that code combined with the source's management field "2 - Newly identified" (site added to monitoring, not yet classified), while plain "not-classified" is the same quality code without that management status (monitored, but without enough valid samples to classify that season).

wld_gate_passedboolean

Whether the site also passes wldlogic's own stricter page-quality gate (unambiguous region, ≥4 classified seasons since the cut-over, non-generic name). Does not affect inclusion in this dataset.

water_urlstring

Live detail page on water.wldlogic.com, when published there (cohort A or B); null otherwise.

official_profile_urlstring

The site's official bathing water profile URL, as published by the national authority in the EEA source; null when not available or not site-specific.

Known limitations

• Classification reflects a rolling evaluation across the last four bathing seasons (Directive 2006/7/EC), not a same-day water-quality test — a site classed "excellent" can still have an off day.
• Coordinates are published exactly as given in the EEA source file; this site has not independently verified them.
• 30 of 2,773 sites (1.1%) have region = null, because no Natural Earth admin-1 boundary is within 5 km, or two boundaries are equally near — see region_match_method.
• "new" and "not-classified" both come from the EEA source's quality code "0 - Not classified"; "new" additionally has the source's management field "2 - Newly identified" (a site newly added to monitoring, not yet classified), while "not-classified" has the same quality code without that management status (monitored, but without enough valid samples to classify that season).

Modified:

• Filtered to Greece and Croatia.
• Restricted to sites with a valid 2025 classification (excellent, good, sufficient, poor or not-classified) and valid coordinates.
• Classification codes converted to plain-language labels (Directive 2006/7/EC).
• "new" and "not-classified" both come from the EEA source's quality code "0 - Not classified"; "new" additionally requires the source's management field to be "2 - Newly identified" — otherwise the site stays "not-classified".
• Greek site names, published in capital letters, converted to title case.
• Regions assigned from the coordinates using Natural Earth admin-1 boundaries (sites with no region within 5 km, or two equally near candidates, have region = null).
• Statistics computed by this site.
