It is an update in classification for all water bodies in Wales following on from the cycle 1 and cycle 2 classification rounds. The Water Environment (Water Framework Directive) (England & Wales) Regulations 2017 (referred to as the WFD Regulations) provide a framework for managing the water environment in England and Wales. The Directive aims for “good status” of all ground and surface water (rivers, lakes, transitional water, and coastal waters). Under the WFD Regulations, a river basin management plan must be prepared for each river basin district. The plan includes environmental objectives and a summary of the programmes of measures required to achieve those objectives.

Mae'r set ddata hon yn dangos y ffiniau a'r dosbarthiad sylfaen, a wnaed yn 2021, ar gyfer Cylch 3 y Gyfarwyddeb Fframwaith Dŵr (WFD). Mae'n ddiweddariad o ran dosbarthiad ar gyfer pob corff dŵr yng Nghymru yn dilyn rowndiau dosbarthu cylch 1 a chylch 2. Mae Rheoliadau'r Amgylchedd Dŵr (Y Gyfarwyddeb Fframwaith Dŵr) (Cymru a Lloegr) 2017 (y cyfeirir atynt fel Rheoliadau'r Gyfarwyddeb Fframwaith Dŵr) yn darparu fframwaith ar gyfer rheoli'r amgylchedd dŵr yng Nghymru a Lloegr. Mae’r Gyfarwyddeb yn anelu at “statws da” ar gyfer yr holl ddŵr daear a dŵr wyneb (afonydd, llynnoedd, dŵr trosiannol a dyfroedd arfordirol). O dan Reoliadau'r Gyfarwyddeb Fframwaith Dŵr, rhaid paratoi cynllun rheoli basn afon ar gyfer pob ardal basn afon. Mae'r cynllun yn cynnwys amcanion amgylcheddol a chrynodeb o'r rhaglenni o fesurau sydd eu hangen i gyflawni'r amcanion hynny. Mae'r holl gyrff dŵr wedi'u hasesu ac wedi'u cynnwys yn y Cynllun Rheoli Basn Afon lleol (RBMP). Mae CNC yn diweddaru'r dosbarthiad bob 3 blynedd. Bydd dosbarthiad Interim Cylch 3 ar gael yn 2024. Bydd yn cael ei gyhoeddi ar ffurf tabl ar Arsylwi Dyfroedd Cymru. Yna gellir ei gysylltu â chyrff dŵr y Gyfarwyddeb Fframwaith Dŵr, os oes angen.
