WFD Catchment Management Information England - Investigations

This dataset sets out the different units used for managing the Water Framework Directive (WFD), and basic information about water bodies, such as their classification and targets, but does not contain detailed information on their topography.  Information for sites in Wales is included where the site crosses the border into England.  Detailed information on terminology and the WFD process is available in our supporting information on the Catchment Data Explorer website.
RBDs and Catchments Cycle 2 (AfA295) Lists of the River Basin Districts, 'Management Catchments' and Operational Catchments' we divide the country into, for the purposes of integrated catchment management and the WFD.
Water Bodies Cycle 2 (AfA296) A list of the water bodies that we further sub-divide the country into for the purposes of integrated catchment management and the WFD.
Water Body Classifications Cycle 2 (AfA297) WFD classifications for water bodies at various levels for various years.
Water Body Outcomes (AfA298) Our targets for water body classifications at various points in the future.
Investigations (AfA430) Details of Investigations that establish if the classification result shows a valid problem within a water body and identify reasons for failure.
Reasons for Failure (AfA318) Reasons for Failure identify the cause of less than good classifications (activity, source, sector). The cause is recorded using a defined set of reasons for failure.
Actions and Measures (AfA096) Descriptions of remedial actions and measures being taken to improve the status of a waterbody and the associated costs. Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2020. All rights reserved.

WFD (Water Framework Directive) Cycle 2 River outfalls to transitional and coastal waters

This spreadsheet contains the location of the outfall points where Cycle 2 river lines (England only) meet the coast.  These outfall points were initially created in an ESRI ArcGIS shapefile and used in the production of the Surface Water Body Centrelines river network to be uploaded to WISE (Water Information System for Europe) for European-wide environmental reporting.  Please note that the Environment Agency no longer provide data for water bodies in Wales - this should now available from Natural Resources Wales.

Transitional & coastal water fish surveys (NFPD)

The Environment Agency undertakes fisheries monitoring work on rivers, lakes and transitional and coastal (TraC) waters.

This dataset contains site and survey information, the numbers and species of fish caught, fish lengths, weights and ages (where available), for all the TraC water fish surveys carried out across England from 1981 onwards.

Notes:
- These survey data are stored in an archive more commonly known as the NFPD (National Fish Populations Database).
- This dataset contains transitional and coastal (TraC) water surveys only.
- Third party data held on the NFPD are excluded from the dataset.
-  Approved for Access under AfA347.

Surface Water Temperature Archive up to 2007

This record is for Approval for Access product AfA214. Water temperature data is collected and stored by the Environment Agency 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 (SC070035), and is a unique collation of the Environment Agency’s water temperature data from more than 30,000 sites across England & Wales. 
The archive contains water temperature data (up to 2007) and site metadata. Most sites have records starting from the 1980s. The water temperature data are available in two main types; spot samples from routine monitoring (e.g. monthly) and high resolution samples (e.g. every 15 minutes). 
The database was created using Microsoft Access 2003 but has a simple query based front end. As part of the science project about 1 in 10 sites were analysed to assess trends, and images of these graphs are embedded within the archive and linked to sites for information. 
The archive can be interrogated to find out where water temperature data exist, how frequently sampling occurs and the length of each record. In addition, sites have information about water body type e.g. river, lake or canal.  This dataset is available on DVD.

Seagrass Taxa and Abundance

This record is for Approval for Access product AfA128. Information regarding the presence, and percentage cover, of seagrass species at specific marine monitoring points held within the Environment Agency’s BIOSYS database (our main database for storing, manipulating and reporting data from freshwater and marine biological surveys at any taxonomic level). 
These data represent ground-truthing monitoring for the ecological assessment of seagrasses within transitional and coastal waters of England and Wales.  Seagrass data on BIOSYS are updated as new monitoring data are made available. Monitoring for seagrass occurs June to September with records being updated after the sampling season.
The extracted data is a subset of the full dataset and only includes data collected/owned by the Environment Agency. Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2024. All rights reserved.

Risk of Flooding from Surface Water Suitability

PLEASE NOTE: This record has been retired. It has been superseded by: https://environment.data.gov.uk/dataset/b5aaa28d-6eb9-460e-8d6f-43caa71fbe0e


This dataset is not suitable for identifying whether an individual property will flood.
GIS layer giving a suitability rating which represents the scale at which it is generally appropriate to use this information to assess flood risk. It is based on the confidence in the modelling at that location. Always consult this layer when using any RoFSW output products.
This dataset is one output of our Risk of Flooding from Surface Water (RoFSW) mapping, previously known as the updated Flood Map for Surface Water (uFMfSW). It is one of a group of datasets previously available as the uFMfSW Complex Package. Further information on using these datasets can be found at the Resource Locator link below.
Information Warnings:
Risk of Flooding from Surface Water is not to be used at property level. If the Content is displayed in map form to others we recommend it should not be used with basemapping more detailed than 1:10,000 as the data is open to misinterpretation if used as a more detailed scale.
Because of the way they have been produced and the fact that they are indicative, the maps are not appropriate to act as the sole evidence for any specific planning or regulatory decision or assessment of risk in relation to flooding at any scale without further supporting studies or evidence.

Recovery and Recycling Packaging Summary

This record is Approved for Access product AfA360. The Recovery and Recycling Packaging Summary provides information/data on recycling & recovery by each quarter.  Figures in this product are for voluntary returns. Although most operators will work within the system owing to the commercial value of claiming credits there is no obligation to do so. These figures therefore may legitimately not reflect the total amount of wastes processed/treated.
Information on non-reporters (by the deadline) is shown. Any subsequent updates (quarterly) will contain both late returns and any amendments to other returns (which are commonplace).
ePRN means electronic packaging waste recovery notes (ePERN for exports). Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2019. All rights reserved.

Realtime Flood Data Air Temperature

This record is for Approval for Access product AfA422 Realtime Flood Data Air Temperature. This dataset covers monitoring data that is only updated on our systems on a daily update cycle. This is usually increased during times of flooding etc.
Readings are transferred via telemetry to internal and external systems in, or close to real time. This data may be transferred to these systems or users at different intervals varying, for example, from once per day during normal conditions to several times per day during a flood event.
Data for sites in Wales is included in the Open Data feed, but is owned by Natural Resources Wales (NRW). NRW also class the data as Open Data, and you may use it under the same terms as the England data (the standard Open Government Licence, available on The National Archives website).
This data is retrieved automatically and is unvalidated.  At present there are only sites in the English Midlands.  Measurements of air temperature at Environment Agency rain gauge sites in England, usually taken every hour but sometimes every 15 minutes.
