Does anyone have familiarity with international sources for the same data noted above? I am not thinking of any country in specific, but it would in general be beneficial to have a listing of non-US sources.

Jeremy, this info is tough to find. Maybe some folks out there on the forum can make specific notes about countries they have been working in.

A lot of European countries have federal agencies, which deal with this data and can answer that questions. In Germany it's the water agency (Wasserbehoerde) of each state and the Environmental Agency (Umweltamt). But sometimes it's quicker to ask the local university in a related faculty to help finding that information.
