Where the data come from and what they do not say

  • Surface waters: yearbooks of the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute (SHMÚ) Surface Water Quality for the years 2022 to 2025. We transcribed the list of sites and indicators that failed the standard under Government Regulation no. 269/2010 Coll. into a table in the plugin. Older yearbooks are in a different format and we did not include them.
  • Groundwater: SHMÚ yearbooks Groundwater Quality, stations and indicators exceeded in 2017 to 2025 according to the drinking-water limits. The connection to the fishing district is only indirect.
  • Groundwater, measured values: the public SHMÚ interface "Groundwater quality monitoring results". We have actually measured values (nitrates, ammonium, iron, chlorides, metals, pesticides, PFAS, solvents) for 758 stations; for each substance we take the highest value from the samples in 2025 (for stations without data for that year, from one of the two previous years). A value equal to the standard counts as an exceedance, as it does at SHMÚ.
  • Treatment plants: register of wastewater treatment plants (VÚVH, EEA) from the "Points near fishing districts" file, that is, only plants within 2 km of the fishing district line. There are considerably more treatment plants in Slovakia.

What this data does not say. The yearbook lists the sites that failed the standard. A site missing from it is not proof of clean water, so the score of a fishing district is only ever lowered and never raised. We did not include industrial polluters (the National Pollution Register) in the list because the register was unavailable when the data was collected, and for wastewater treatment plants we list only those we found near the fishing districts. Only 31% of SHMÚ sites have an exact location, 47% have only an approximate location (based on the water body, so they count less near the districts) and 22% have no location at all, so we do not assign them to any district. We determine the distance, the match of the watercourse name and the ranking ourselves; the assignment is indicative.
