The WISE-4 dataflow is no longer active. It has been superseded by WISE-6 for Water quality, and by WISE-2 for Biology reporting.

The following material is intended for national reporters of WISE-4 data.
It describes how to use Reportnet during the reporting process and how to improve the quality of deliveries.

Changes from the 2016 data call

There are no changes to the WISE-4 data model used in the 2016 data call.

The following issues were corrected, as requested by countries:

• The unit of measure for dioxin-like compounds for which toxic equivalency factors don't exist at the moment was corrected to ug/L.
• Reporting of disaggregated data at different sample depths, for a given substance and monitoring site, is no longer a blocker in the quality control checks.
