Dutch Surface Water Toxic Pressure Measurements from 2013 to 2018

A geospatial dataset mapping the toxic pressure of chemical mixtures in Dutch surface water. The data is based on water samples collected between 2013 and 2018, with toxic pressure represented in five increasing classes. The dataset was published by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations.

Use Cases

• Map regional water quality degradation based on the five-class toxic pressure scale.
• Analyze temporal trends in chemical pollution based on the 2013-2018 sampling period.
• Identify areas requiring remediation measures based on toxic pressure levels mentioned in the description.
• Correlate toxic pressure with potential impacts on aquatic biodiversity as described.

Strengths

• Data covers a five-year sampling period from 2013 to 2018.
• Toxic pressure is quantified using a standardized five-class scale.
• Geospatial format (WFS/WMS) enables direct mapping and integration with GIS tools.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
