Water Framework Directive (WFD) River Basin Districts Cycle 3
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 '…the area of land and sea, made up of one or more neighbouring river basins together with their associated groundwaters and coastal waters…'. 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.

The Cycle 3 RBD boundaries look very similar to the cycle 1 and 2 RBD boundaries but are based on the Cycle 3 versions of the river waterbody catchments, transitional and coastal waters. As a result some of the base datasets used for their delineation have changes and they have been declared OpenData.
