Brussels-Capital Region: Delineation of the Brussels agglomeration, in accordance with the directive 91/271/EEC concerning urban waste water treatment. The agglomeration is there defined as "an area where the population and/or economic activities are sufficiently concentrated for urban waste water to be collected and conducted to an urban waste water treatment plant or to a final discharge point". It corresponds to the two collecting basins of the waste water treatment plants of Brussels-North and Brussels-South.

This dataset corresponds to the sewage treatment plants. It is made of three geometric classes : sewage treatment plants, sewage treatment plant collection basins and sewage treatment plant discharge points.

Brussels-Capital Region: localization of the two treatment stations of wastewater and rainwater. The Brussels-North waste water treatment plant (AQUIRIS commissioned in 2007) and the waste water treatment plant Brussels-South (commissioned in 2000).

Brussels-Capital Region: The sensitive area to eutrophication is a protected area against the pollution of surface waters caused by waste water. This area matches the Senne river basin. In this area, urban waste water has to be collected and are subject to a stringent treatment before their discharge. It was designated in accordance with the prescriptions of the European Directive 91/271/EEC, by the Regional Decree of 23 March 1994.

This report concerns the quality of water intended for human consumption, distributed during the 2017–2018–2019 period in the Brussels-Capital Region, with the aim of informing consumers of distributed water. The legal framework is defined by the Decree on the quality of water distributed through the network. This decree sets the quality standards the water must meet and outlines the obligations of the water supplier. As required by the decree, the report covers, at a minimum, all individual water supplies of more than 1,000 m³ per day on average or serving more than 5,000 people. In the Brussels-Capital Region, only one water supplier meets these conditions: VIVAQUA. Therefore, the report is limited to the water distributed by them. Water intended for human consumption is referred to as publicly distributed network water, tap water, or drinking water.

This dataset contains information on the water quality requirements for surface waters (rivers, lakes, coastal waters and transitional waters) of the Brussels region in order to protect the aquatic ecosystem and, by extension, human health.

This dataset is based on measurements and inspections carried out by the scientific experts at Brussels Environment and presents the results of their investigations into all issues related to the evolution of water in the Brussels-Capital Region. In addition, the Bruwater application provided by Brussels Environment allows users to consult data on surface water and groundwater in the Brussels-Capital Region.
