About WISE

The Water Information System for Europe (WISE) is a partnership between the European Commission and the European Environment Agency (EEA).

WISE was launched in 2007 providing a web-portal entry to water related information ranging from inland waters to marine.

Over the years WISE has been improved and updated to respond to the user needs and be timely aligned with the European water policies requirements.

WISE addresses several user groups.

For users from EU institutions or other environmental national, regional and local administrations WISE provides input to thematic assessments in the context of EU water related policies.

For water professionals and scientists WISE facilitates access to reference documents and thematic data, which can be downloaded for further analyses.

For the general public, including private or public entities, WISE illustrates a wide span of water related information through interactive maps, charts and indicators.
