Title
Water Framework Directive (WFD) Transitional Waterbodies Cycle 1
Abstract
<p>&lsquo;WFD Transitional (Estuarine) Waterbodies&rsquo; is a spatial 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 &lsquo;&hellip;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&rsquo;. Transitional waterbodies were defined from Mean High Water boundaries, taken directly from OS 1:50K MeridianTM 2, and 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 1 of the Water Framework Directive.</p> <p><strong>Attribution Statement</strong></p> <p>Contains Natural Resources Wales information &copy; Natural Resources Wales and Database Right.
