- Water Framework Directive (WFD) Transitional Waterbodies Cycle 3
- Abstract
- <p>'Water Framework Directive (WFD) Transitional Waterbodies' is a polygon Shapefile dataset containing attributes that have been collated as defined for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). Article 2, clause 6 of the WFD defines them as '...bodies of surface water in the vicinity of river mouths which are partly saline in character as a result of their proximity to coastal waters but are substantially influenced by freshwater flows'. Transitional waterbodies were defined from Mean High Water boundaries, taken directly from OS 1:50K MeridianTM 2, and NRW estuarine boundaries defined for the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD). Since waterbodies are attributed with a unique identifier 'EA_WB_ID' this dataset can be linked directly to other WFD data sources such as physical characteristics, risk, classification, and proposed objectives. These data apply to Cycle 3 of the Water Framework Directive.</p> <p>This was originally created from Ordnance Survey data and territorial waters data as described above. The Cycle 3 version represents a minor update of the cycle 2 dataset.</p> <p><strong>Attribution statement:</strong></p> <p>Contains Natural Resources Wales information © Natural Resources Wales and Database Right.
