Summary

The 'WFD River Water body Catchments Cycle 1' dataset is a polygon Shapefile defined for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive. Catchments are defined as an area of land from which all surface run-off flows through a series of streams, rivers and, possibly, lakes to a particular point in the water course such as a river confluence. Water bodies are attributed with a unique identifier ‘EAWBID' (equivalent to WB_ID in Cycle 2) so this dataset can be linked directly to other WFD data sources such as river water body catchment, physical characteristics, risk, classification and proposed objectives as well as Cycle 2 datasets. NB Not all catchments have a designated WFD river water body within them. This dataset was previously known as WFD River Waterbody Catchments. This dataset covers the layer for Cycle 1 of the Water Framework Directive. The equivalent layer for Cycle 2 is covered under WFD River Water body Catchments Cycle 2
