WFD River Basin Districts Cycle 2
WFDC2_RIVER_BASIN_DISTRICTS
WFD_RBD_CYCLE2_DRAFT
WFD River Basin Districts is a polygon Shapefile 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. These data apply to Cycle 2 of the Water Framework Directive. The equivalent layer for Cycle 1 is covered by AfA081. Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2015. All rights reserved.

The Cycle 2 RBD boundaries look very similar to the cycle 1 RBD boundaries but are based on the Cycle 2 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.
