Water Framework Directive (WFD) Management Catchments Cycle 2

WFD Management Catchments Cycle 2 is a dataset collated as defined for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD).


Management catchments are the unit of geography for which action plans are drafted in implementing the WFD. This process was conducted by using expert judgement in consultation.


WFD Management Catchments have an action plan published that relates to all waterbodies that fall within its boundaries. These data apply to Cycle 2 of the Water Framework Directive

Identification

Identifier
NRW_DS119132
Alternative Title
  • WFD Management Catchments Cycle2.lyr
Metadata Language
English
Lineage

WFD Management Catchments have been delineated by using WFD River Waterbody Catchments [these were delineated through use of flow data and a digital terrain model run through a hydrological model] as “building blocks” that have been aggregated together within a GIS, ensuring that WFD rivers do not intersect boundaries. This process was conducted by using expert judgement in consultation.
