England WFD River Water Body Catchments Cycle 3

England Water Framework Directive Water Body Catchments - Cycle 3 (2022) This is a polygon dataset as defined for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive. 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 water course such as a river confluence. Since rivers are attributed with a unique water body identifier 'WB_ID' this dataset can be linked directly to the WFD river water body to which it relates. This dataset only contains the catchment shapes for river water bodies reported under the WFD. It does not include catchments for the small coastal streams and pieces of land that drain to coastal and estuarine waters without passing through a defined river water body.
Percentage Land Cover Statistics for CaSTCo Demos

Visualisations for this layer only include the top 10 land use types in the catchment - the other statistics can be found in the pop-ups or by visualizing the data in ArcPro. Percentage Land Use cover by Waterbody catchment for all CaSTCo Demo Catchments. To calculate these statistics, the UKCEH 2023 Land Use Cover map was vectorised and clipped to the waterbody shapefiles for each CaSTCo catchment. Area were then calculated for each land use type and used to calculate overall percentage proportion in separate waterbody catchments. This data is intended to clearly show the differing land use coverage in each CaSTCo Catchment in more detail to allow for better decision making and help answer some water quality questions. Data used in this visualisation is derived from the UKCEH Land Cover Map 2023: Morton, R.D.; Marston, C.G.; O’Neil, A.W.; Rowland, C.S. (2024). Land Cover Map 2023 (land parcels, GB).

River Obstacles

The River Obstacles initiative is a joint endeavour by the Environment Agency, Zoological Society of London, The Rivers Trust, Thames Estuary Partnership, The River Restoration Centre and Natural Apptitude. The app has been redesigned to make it easier for non-specialists to use. There are thousands of man made and natural obstacles in the rivers of the UK. Many of the man made obstacles perform important functions - for example dams, sluices, weirs and road culverts - but they can also cause problems such as restricting the movement of fish, damaging river banks and beds, and posing a hazard to people using boats, canoes and kayaks. We know where many of these obstacles are and what kind of impacts they cause, but we suspect that there are many more obstacles that we don’t know about, particularly in the more remote, upland areas of the UK. The free app for iphone and android devices will enable people to send in photos and details of obstacles that they see when they’re out and about either on, in or by the UK’s rivers. The information received from this app will be used by public bodies, groups of river users, local authorities and private companies to identify redundant man made obstacles that can be removed from rivers, and prioritise improvements to other obstacles that will yield the biggest environmental improvements. Information on natural obstacles will also be used to determine the natural limits to movement for different species of fish. Download the app Download for free from the App Store for iOS devices or the Google Play store for Android devices. [[Get it on Google Play]] [[Download from the app store]] This project enables people to send in photos and details of obstacles that they see when they’re out and about, either on, in or by the UK’s rivers. It is possible to submit just the basic information such as the location of the obstacle and a photo, or to submit more detailed information such as the type of obstacle, its height and length, and a judgement as to how much of a barrier it presents to the movement of fish.

Event Duration Monitoring Storm Overflows 2023

This Event Duration Monitoring dataset relates to overflow performance in England and Wales. Water and Sewerage Companies (WASCs) submit this regulatory return annually to the Environment Agency or Natural Resources Wales to meet discharge conditions outlined in the Environmental Permitting Regulations. The English data were downloaded from [environment.data.gov.uk] (accessed 27th March 2024). Sewer Storm Overflow EDM Annual Returns Data for Wales were downloaded from the [Dŵr Cymru/ Welsh Water] and [Hafren Dyfrdwy] websites. For England, the dataset also includes reasons why event duration monitors may have provided information for <90% of the relevant return period, and why an overflow may have high spill counts in that period. What doesn't this dataset show? There are a significant but unknown number of overflows which are not included in this dataset because the WASCs and the Environment Agency don't know where they are within the sewer network. If you spot signs of sewage pollution please report this to the Environment Agency on [0800 80 70 60] or Natural Resources Wales on [0300 065 3000] so that these unmapped discharges can be pinpointed. Emergency overflows in England and Wales are not included in this dataset as the Environment Agency and Natural Resources Wales only require storm overflows to be included in the EDM returns, though some WASCs do record this information. Emergency overflows do have permits but these are for use in the event of mechanical issues, for example pump failure. We do publish the emergency overflows for England and Wales in the [consented discharges dataset], but we don't have spill duration data for them. You can find out more about environmental permits for storm and emergency overflows for England [here] and Wales [here]. Quality Control The Rivers Trust has endeavoured to clean, check and interpret the data, but cannot be held responsible for any missing or inaccurate data. Points in the sea may be long-sea outfalls or they may be errors in the data. Water companies, citizen scientists and map users are welcome to [contact us] to notify any known data errors on specific overflows and we will flag these in the map popups and pass on to the regulators. We are providing feedback to the Defra storm overflows taskforce about how to improve transparency around sewer storm overflows, and would welcome feedback and suggestions.

Event Duration Monitoring Storm Overflows 2022

This Event Duration Monitoring dataset relates to the performance of storm overflows in England and Wales. The Water and Sewerage Companies (WASCs) provide this regulatory return to the regulator (Environment Agency or Natural Resources Wales) each year to fulfil their permitted conditions to discharge from these storm overflows under the Environmental Permitting Regulations. The English data were downloaded from data.gov.uk (accessed 31st March 2023) and the Welsh data were provided on request by Dwr Cymru / Welsh Water. For England, the dataset also includes reasons why event duration monitors may have provided information for <90% of the relevant return period, and why an overflow may have high spill counts in that period. What doesn't this dataset show? There are a significant but unknown number of storm overflows which are not included in this dataset because the WASCs and the Environment Agency don't know where they are within the sewer network.

Emergency overflows do have permits but these are for use in the event of mechanical issues, for example pump failure. Dwr Cymru / Welsh Water have included some emergency overflows in their dataset so we have included these in this layer. We do publish the emergency overflows for England in the [consented discharges dataset], but we don't have spill duration data for them.

We are aware of an issue with the operational % attribute. This has occurred where some water companies have reported percentages and some have reported proportions. Until this is fixed please use the next attribute that gives the reason for operational failure, if it exists - "edmOperationReason". Contact us at [data@theriverstrust.org]
Category 1 & 2 Environmental Pollution Incidents

Category 1 & 2 Environmental Pollution Incidents from the Environment Agency National Incident Reporting System. Highlights where the Environment Agency has investigated the most serious spills (category 1 and 2) which have impacted water quality over the last decade. This dataset was included in the CaBA Data Package v1. This dataset has been attributed with CaBA partnership details. This was done using the 'Identity' tool in ArcMap. Take note that the original dataset has therefore been divided according to these boundary lines.
Category 3 and 4 Minor Water Environmental Pollution Incidents summary 2020 to 2023

Summary of category 3 water pollution incidents reported to the Environment Agency are held on the National Incident Reporting System. Sum of incidents reported between 2001 and 2020 summarised by WFD Operational Catchment. Extracted from NIRS for Closed Category 3 and 4 Incidents classified as 3 and 4 in the Water Environmental Level code field from 01/01/2020 until date of extraction 20/05/2024. This data includes grid references for each incident. These Grid references were then used to map each Incident within ArcMap and analyse using the Spatial Join Tool how many incidents are located within each WFD Operational. Within the data tab shows a table of Counts of Category 3 and 4 Incidents within each WFD Operational Catchments from 01/01/2020 to data extraction date (20/05/2024).
