## Pricing

from $33.50 / 1,000 water measure indicator records

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## EU Water Measure Indicator Records — EEA WISE

**Keyless. Pay per record. The quantitative indicators behind Europe's water-restoration measures.**

This actor turns the **European Environment Agency (EEA) WISE Water Framework Directive (WFD) database** into clean, per-record data — the quantitative INDICATORS that river basin districts attach to the key measures they plan against significant pressures and failing substances. Each run reads the EEA's keyless DiscoData SQL service and delivers one row per indicator, structured for water-policy and progress analysis, reusable with acknowledgement of the EEA, with no personal data of any kind.

### What this is, in one paragraph

A Programme of Measures is only as concrete as the indicators that quantify it — how many kilometres restored, how many installations upgraded, how much load reduced. This actor reads the Key-Type-Measure indicator table and delivers one record per indicator: the country and river basin district, the KEY TYPE MEASURE, the INDICATOR, its 2021 VALUE, the significant PRESSURE and failing SUBSTANCE the measure addresses, and the surface/groundwater and Article 4.5 flags — all carried as filed. It is the quantitative-indicator layer of Europe's water-restoration effort.

### Who buys this and for what job

- **Water-policy analysts** quantifying the scale of planned measures against pressures.
- **Environmental consultancies** benchmarking indicator values across basins and countries.
- **Progress-tracking teams** using the 2021 indicator value as a baseline.
- **Data engineers** who want the WISE WFD measure-indicator table as clean rows from a keyless source.

### EEA licence — reuse with acknowledgement

One licence rider travels on every record. EEA data may be **reused, including commercially, provided the source is acknowledged**: "Source: European Environment Agency (EEA)." Where third-party content is marked, it keeps its own terms. These are reported programme entries as filed — not a compliance verdict.

### River-basin grain — no person data

The unit of every record is a measure indicator for a river basin district — a coded indicator and its value, never a person. WISE WFD reporting is at river-basin level: there is **no contact, operator, or responsible-person field** in the source table, and none is selected or emitted. The free-text "other indicator / other measure / other substance" fields are **EXCLUDED at field selection**. A person-key guard runs on every record as a backstop.

### A note on scale, honestly

The source table holds **30,799 rows**; this actor delivers the rows that carry an actual indicator — an exact `COUNT(*)` of **30,784** at build time, which matches the planning index for this category exactly. It carries the WFD reporting cycles (the `reporting_year` field distinguishes them). The live count above is authoritative.

  "source": "EEA WISE Water Framework Directive (WFD) — Key Type Measure indicators for pressure/substance failures",
  "observed_at": "2026-08-27T00:00:00Z"
}
```

An unbilled `RUN_RECEIPT` records the robots check, the filters, rows seen and delivered, and whether charged equals delivered.

### Field reference

Each record is one measure indicator. Identity: `record_id`, `country_code`, `country_name`, `eu_rbd_code`, `rbd_name`, `eu_sub_unit_code`, `sub_unit_name`, `rbd_area_km2`, and `reporting_year`. Measure and indicator: `key_type_measure`, `key_type_measure_indicator`, and `indicator_value_2021`. Target: `significant_pressure`, `substance_failing`, `surface_water_or_groundwater`, and `use_article_4_5_beyond_2027`. Plus `has_descriptive_data` and `file_url`. Provenance travels on every record: `source`, `source_url`, `licence`, `attribution`, `disclaimer`, and `observed_at`.

### How a run works

A run first re-reads the source host's robots posture from your runtime — the EEA DiscoData host — and stops at the door if that ever changes. It pages the WISE WFD measure-indicator table (always keeping only rows with a real indicator, plus your optional `countryCode` and `year`), ordered by river basin district, and flattens each row to one record — carrying every coded label and value **verbatim**, never anything person-shaped and never the free-text fields — delivered **before** it is charged, so a blocked or empty run costs you nothing. The actor stops at your `maxRecords` ceiling and records `charge_equals_delivered` in the receipt.

### Coverage and scope

The table holds **30,784 rows** across reporting countries, river basin districts, Key Type Measures, and indicators. Because each record carries the `country_code`, the `eu_rbd_code`, the `key_type_measure`, and the `key_type_measure_indicator`, segmenting by country, basin, measure or indicator is straightforward. Pull one country, one measure, or the whole table to seed a water-policy warehouse.

### Working with the data

The indicators are a quantification layer, and the fields make them actionable. Because every record ties a `key_type_measure` to a specific `key_type_measure_indicator` with a 2021 value and the pressure/substance it targets, an analyst can total the planned scale of a measure across a country, compare indicator values between basins, and — joined to **eu-pressure-substance-failure-records** and **eu-river-basin-measure-inventory-records** — connect indicators back to the failures they address and the measures they belong to.

### Cost guidance

One `water_measure_indicator_record` per delivered row: cost = rows delivered × your plan's per-record price. Scope with `countryCode` and `year`. 1,000 rows is **$50** (Free) / **$33.50** (Gold).

### Honest limitations

- **As reported.** Indicators and values are as filed by member states; this actor reformats, it does not audit or recompute.
- **2021 value.** The quantitative value carried is the reported 2021 figure; later-cycle values live in the 2024 reporting.
- **Filtered to recorded indicators.** Rows with no indicator are excluded by design.
- **Acknowledge the EEA**, and note there is **no person data** of any kind.

### Differentiation

It is the INDICATOR grain on its own table, distinct from **eu-pressure-substance-failure-records** (the pressure/substance failures themselves) and from **eu-river-basin-measure-inventory-records** (the measure inventory) — this cell carries the quantitative indicators attached to those measures. Its specific job is the **WFD Key-Type-Measure indicators**.
