Historic Flood Warnings and Flood Alerts

Listing of Severe Flood Warnings, Flood Warnings, Update Flood Warnings and Flood Alerts issued since the Floodline Warnings Direct service went live on January 26th 2006 to the present. This dataset includes flood warnings issued by Natural Resources Wales (NRW) from 1 April 2013. Flood Alerts and Warnings are issued for flooding from rivers and the sea.  For Flood Alerts this is generally river catchments or stretches of coastline. For Flood Warnings and Severe Flood Warnings this is specific communities or parts of communities.

Waste Permit Returns Data Interrogator

All operators of regulated waste management facilities have to provide us with details of the quantities and types of waste they deal with i.e. waste received into site and waste sent on from site to other facilities or processes. This data is used to monitor compliance but has historically been used by the EC, DEFRA and local authorities to assist in planning for new waste facilities and for monitoring against statutory targets. We have provided this data in an interrogatable format.

Surface Water Temperature Archive up to 2007

Water temperature data is collected  for different reasons and in different locations. Time series of surface water temperatures can provide indicators of climate change and associated ecological responses. An archive was created in 2007 as part of a research project, and is a unique collation of Natural Resource Wales and The Environment Agencies water temperature data from more than 30,000 sites across England & Wales. The archive contains water temperature data (up to 2007) and site metadata. The archive contains water temperature data (up to 2007) and site metadata. Most sites have records starting from the 1980s.

Great Crested Newt - Risk Zones (North Somerset and South Gloucestershire)

This dataset identifies areas where the distribution of great crested newts (GCN) has been categorised into zones relating to GCN occurrence and the level of impact development is likely to have on this species. Red zones contain key populations of GCN, which are important on a regional, national or international scale and include designated Sites of Special Scientific Interest for GCN. Amber zones contain main population centres for GCN and comprise important connecting habitat that aids natural dispersal. Green zones contain sparsely distributed GCN and are less likely to contain important pathways of connecting habitat for this species. White zones contain no GCN. However, as most of England forms the natural range of GCN, white zones are rare and will only be used when it is certain that there are no GCN. Attribution statement: © Natural England, 2022

Environmental Permitting Regulations - Waste Sites

A waste management licence is a legal document issued under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. A licence authorises the treatment, keeping or disposal of waste in or on the land. Once we have issued a licence, neither the activities nor the area of land may be changed unless the licence is modified.

UK Water Quality Sampling Harmonised Monitoring Scheme Summary Data

The Historic UK Water Quality Sampling Harmonised Monitoring Scheme (HMS) data contains statistics for a series of water quality sampling sites including annual means, maximum and minimum values for each region for specified determinands from 1975 onwards. The Harmonised Monitoring Scheme (HMS) was established to provide an archive of water quality data for the UK. It is used to provide information for international obligations, including the long-term trends of some determinands and the estimation of riverborne input of selected determinands to the sea.

Historic River Quality Objectives

The River Quality Objectives (RQO) classification was used for planning water quality improvements until 2006 when the scheme ended. The national RQO classification scheme ceased at the end of 2006, it is now a fixed table which will not be updated. RQO compliance figures are available for 1997-2006.

Hazardous Waste Registrations with Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code

The Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005 require that anyone who produces or holds hazardous waste at any premises Wales must register the premises with Natural Resources wales each year, unless the total quantity of hazardous waste is less than 500 kg each year.  There is an online public register that allows searches to be run on registrations which shows the business name, registration reference, address,  postcode, registration start date and registration end date. The dataset contains live registrations.

OSPAR River Monitoring Programme

The Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic know as the OSPAR Convention 1998 (Oslo Convention 1972 and Paris Convention 1974), is an agreement signed by a number of European countries (including the United Kingdom) to protect the quality of the North East Atlantic. The objective of the OSPAR Convention is to take all possible steps to prevent and eliminate pollution entering the sea. The OSPAR Convention provides standard methods for estimating the inputs of selected pollutants to the sea by using fixed sampling schedule and a standard input calculation.   In Wales, all principal rivers are sampled monthly (12 times a year) just upstream of their tidal limits. For those rivers carrying the heaviest contaminant loads the sampling frequency maybe increased beyond the minimum of 12. Major trade effluents and sewage effluents to estuaries or coastal waters are also sampled monthly to assess direct discharges to marine waters. Flow values of discharges direct to estuary or sea are sometimes provided by the operators themselves. This is usually part of statutory monitoring arrangements. The aim of these programmes is to assess the level of contamination entering the sea from Wales (the 'load') and to chart the progress in the reduction of this load. This dataset contains the results and data obtained from these programmes.

Marine Conservation Zones (MCZ)

This spatial dataset contains the digital boundaries of Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) former Marine Nature Reserves in Wales. MCZs are a way of conserving marine habitats and wildlife and other features, of special importance, along the shore or on the seabed.

Dee Water Protection Zone

This dataset shows the location of the Dee Water Protection  Zone (DWPZ). A Water Protection Zone is an area where certain activities (storing or using controlled substances) are banned or restricted to reduce the risk of polluting drinking water. Under the Water Protection Zone (River Dee Catchment) (Procedural and Other Provisions) Regulations 1999, you need consent (permission) to carry out a controlled activity in the DWPZ. The aim is to prevent water pollution arising from activities that cannot be controlled using other permits. This map can be used to whether your site is within the DWPZ.
