Title
Water Framework Directive (WFD) River Basin Districts Cycle 2
Abstract
<p>Water Framework Directive (WFD) River Basin Districts (RBD) is a spatial dataset containing attributes that have been collated as defined for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). Article 2, clause 2 of the WFD defines them as '&hellip;the area of land and sea, made up of one or more neighbouring river basins together with their associated groundwaters and coastal waters&hellip;'. 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 waterbodies are also merged and assigned to a river basin district. River Catchments were delineated through use of flow data and a digital terrain model run through a hydrological model.</p> <p><strong>Attribution Statement</strong></p> <p>Contains Natural Resources Wales information &copy; Natural Resources Wales and Database Right.
