Water Framework Directive (WFD) Artificial Waterbodies Canals Cycle 1 (2008 - 2013) is a spatial (polyline) dataset containing Water Framework Directive (WFD) attributes that have been collated as defined for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive. As stated within Article 2.8 of the WFD 'artificial water body' is defined as a body of surface water created by human activity. Canals are therefore reported as a discrete, artificial waterbody dataset. Each waterbody has been assigned 'EA_WB_ID', which is a unique identifier that enables a link to WFD attributes.

These data have been delineated primarily using geography digitised from Ordnance Survey Background mapping and the British Waterways Canal Network GIS layer. These two data sources were validated against one another to derive a final network containing only artificial canals and omitting canalised rivers.
