Water Framework Directive (WFD) River Water Body Catchments Cycle 3 Classification 2022 (Simplified)

This is a polygon dataset showing Water Framework Directive (WFD) River Water Body Catchments. The catchments are associated with a single river water body.

This dataset also contains coastal catchments which are the areas of land that drain to coastal waters without passing through a defined WFD River Water Body. Coastal catchments usually include small streams with catchments less than 10km2, and all beaches.

This dataset provides attribution relating to the 2022 classification results, as well as other relevant information and data about each river water body.

Catchments are defined as an area of land from which all surface run-off flows through a series of streams, rivers, and possibly lakes, to a particular point in the watercourse such as a river confluence. 

This data also contains areas of land which drain directly to coastal or estuarine waters, rather than through a river water body. In these scenarios, the field in the dataset called 'water_body_id' is set to a number, and the field in the dataset called 'water_body_type' is set to 'Coastal Catchment'. 

Created using hydrological models based on EA LiDAR data informed with the Detailed River Network which has residual Ordnance Survey rights.

The geometry of this dataset has been simplified to allow for faster web mapping services. The full resolution of this dataset is called Water Framework Directive (WFD) River Water Body Catchments Cycle 3 Classification 2022 (Full Resolution).

There is a layer file associated with this dataset, which is called Simplified_WFD_River_Water_Body_Catchments_Cycle_3_Classification_2022.lyrx. Please note that there are limitations with the shapefile format of the data. The data applies to Cycle 3 of the WFD. Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2024.

Water Framework Directive (WFD) River Basin Districts Cycle 3

This is a polygon dataset showing River Basin Districts, created to meet the requirements of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). River Basin Districts are large reporting units containing multiple water bodies.

River Basin Districts are the largest reporting units under the WFD, and each will contain many Management Catchments.

The WFD defines River Basin Districts as '…the area of land and sea, made up of one or more neighbouring river basins together with their associated groundwaters and coastal waters…'. River Basin Districts have been delineated by using River Catchments as “building blocks” that have been aggregated together within a GIS, ensuring that WFD rivers do not intersect boundaries. Coastal and transitional water bodies are also merged and assigned to a River Basin District. 

Created using hydrological models based on EA LiDAR data informed with the Detailed River Network which has residual Ordnance Survey rights.

There is a layer file associated with this dataset which is called WFD_River_Basin_Districts_Cycle_3.lyrx.

Please note that there are limitations with the shapefile format of the data. The data applies to Cycle 3 of the WFD. Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2024. All rights reserved.

Water Framework Directive (WFD) Lake Water Bodies Cycle 3 Classification 2022

This is a polygon dataset showing Water Framework Directive (WFD) Lake Water Bodies, which was created to meet the requirements of the WFD. This dataset provides attribution relating to the 2022 classification results, as well as other relevant information and data about each lake water body. 

Article 2, clause 5 of the WFD defines them as '…a body of standing inland surface water'. 

Lake water bodies which are artificial and modified are included within this dataset. However, generally only lakes above 50 hectares are assessed under the WFD except for lakes in protected areas, where a minimum of 5.0 hectares is used. Lakes below this threshold are not included within this dataset unless allocated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) as supplied by Natural England. Any lake judged to be a Drinking Water Protected Area is included in this dataset.

Lake polygons are based on Ordnance Survey data from OS OpenMap - Local data.

There are two layer files associated with this dataset. There is a layer file called WFD_Lake_Water_Bodies_Cycle_3_Classification_2022_Chemical_Class.lyrx, and a layer file called WFD_Lake_Water_Bodies_Cycle_3_Classification_2022_Ecological_Class.lyrx. The layer files display the chemical status, and the ecological status or potential for each lake water body. Please note that there are limitations with the shapefile format of the data.

Water Framework Directive (WFD) Groundwater Bodies Cycle 3 Classification 2022 (Simplified)

This is a polygon dataset showing Water Framework Directive (WFD) Groundwater Bodies. It shows major groundwater bodies (aquifers).

This dataset provides attribution relating to the 2022 classification results, as well as other relevant information and data about each groundwater body.

Article 2, clause 2 of the WFD defines groundwater bodies as '…all water which is below the surface of the ground in the saturation zone and in direct contact with the ground or subsoil'. 

For the purposes of reporting under the WFD, a groundwater body represents a distinct body of groundwater flow with a coherent flow unit including recharge and discharge areas with little flow across the boundaries. These reflect hydrogeological characteristics containing information on flow and stage properties, recharge and vulnerability to pollution. This has been undertaken through defining aquifers into different types and broken into catchment units at Catchment Abstraction Management Strategy (CAMS) scale.

The primary input dataset is '1:625K Classified Aquifer Geology' that has been constructed by the Environment Agency. This dataset has been digitised directly from the hard copy '1:250K Solid Geology Map', and classified according to aquifer type, and is therefore directly derived from the underlying BGS data. These classifications were verified by the British Geology Survey (BGS). The data has gone out for consultation at Area level, and in some instances 1:50K Solid Geology has been used to define localised boundaries. Ordnance Survey data has been used when creating this dataset. The OS data used was from OS OpenMap - Local. 

The geometry of this dataset has been simplified to allow for faster web mapping services. The full resolution of this dataset is called Water Framework Directive (WFD) Groundwater Bodies Cycle 3 Classification 2022 (Full Resolution). 

There are two layer files associated with this dataset. There is a layer file called Simplified_WFD_Groundwater_Bodies_Cycle_3_Classification_2022_Chemical_Class.lyrx, and a layer file called Simplified_WFD_Groundwater_Bodies_Cycle_3_Classification_2022_Quantitative_Class.lyrx. The layer files display the chemical class, and the quantitative class for each groundwater body. Please note that there are limitations with the shapefile format of the data.

Water Framework Directive (WFD) River, Canal, and Surface Water Transfer Water Bodies Cycle 3 Classification 2019 (Full Resolution)

This is a polyline dataset showing Water Framework Directive (WFD) River, Canal, and Surface Water Transfer Water Bodies. River centrelines represent the official river water body definition for the WFD.

This dataset provides attribution relating to the 2019 classification results, as well as other relevant information and data about each river, canal, and surface water transfer water body.

The data identifies the river water bodies managed under the WFD, and any related programmes. This includes canals and surface water transfers which are reported to Europe as artificial rivers. In these scenarios, the field in the dataset called 'water_body_type' has a value of either 'Surface Water Transfer', or 'Canal'. These water bodies are represented by their centreline, and can be linked to other WFD data using the value in the 'water_body_id' field.  

The river centrelines are defined using geometry taken from the EA Detailed River Network, which has Ordnance Survey rights.

There are three layer files associated with this dataset. There is a layer file called WFD_River_Canal_and_SWT_Water_Bodies_Cycle_3_Classification_2019_Chemical_Class.lyrx, a layer file called WFD_River_Canal_and_SWT_Water_Bodies_Cycle_3_Classification_2019_Chemical_Class_ex_uPBT.lyrx, and a layer file called WFD_River_Canal_and_SWT_Water_Bodies_Cycle_3_Classification_2019_Ecological_Class.lyrx.
