WISE WFD surface water bodies reported under Water Framework Directive 2016 - PUBLIC VERSION - version 1.1, Jul. 2017

The dataset contains information on the European surface water bodies delineated for the 1st River Basin Management Plans (RBMP) under the Water Framework Directive (WFD).



The information was reported to the European Commission under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) reporting obligations.

The dataset compiles the available spatial data related to the 2nd RBMPs due in 2016 (hereafter WFD2016).

See http://rod.eionet.europa.eu/obligations/715 for further information on the WFD2016 reporting.



Relevant concepts:



Surface water body: Body of surface water means a discrete and significant element of surface water such as a lake, a reservoir, a stream, river or canal, part of a stream, river or canal, a transitional water or a stretch of coastal water.

Surface water: Inland waters, except groundwater; transitional waters and coastal waters, except in respect of chemical status for which it shall also include territorial waters.

Inland water: All standing or flowing water on the surface of the land, and all groundwater on the landward side of the baseline from which the breadth of territorial waters is measured.

River: Body of inland water flowing for the most part on the surface of the land but which may flow underground for part of its course.

Lake: Body of standing inland surface water.

Transitional waters: Bodies of surface water in the vicinity of river mouths which are partly saline in character as a result of their proximity to coastal waters but which are substantially influenced by freshwater flows.

Coastal water: Surface water on the landward side of a line, every point of which is at a distance of one nautical mile on the seaward side from the nearest point of the baseline from which the breadth of territorial waters is measured, extending where appropriate up to the outer limit of transitional waters.

Territorial sea: The territorial waters, or territorial sea as defined by the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, extend up to a limit not exceeding 12 nautical miles (22.2 km), measured from the baseline. The normal baseline is the low-water line along the coast.

Territorial waters [Operational definition. Not in WFD.]: Reporting unit. The zone between the limit of the coastal water bodies and the limit of the territorial sea, geometrically subdivided in Thiessen polygons according to the adjacent coastal sub-unit (or using any alternative delineation provided by the national competent authorities), and assigned to an adjacent sub-unit for the purpose of reporting the chemical status of the territorial waters under the Water Framework Directive.

    Statement

    1) Data model



    The data set follows the WISE spatial data model described in the WISE GIS guidance, available at http://cdr.eionet.europa.eu/help/WFD/WFD_521_2016/GISGuidance/WISE_GISGuidance.pdf



    The formal specification is available at http://cdr.eionet.europa.eu/help/WFD/WFD_521_2016/UML/GML_Schemas_6.0.6.zip

    The shapefile templates are available at http://cdr.eionet.europa.eu/help/WFD/WFD_521_2016/Shapes/Shapefiles_6.0.6.zip



    Refer to the WISE GIS guidance for the mapping between the GML elements in the XML schema and the corresponding fields in Shapefile format.



    Refer to the Technical Report which accompanies the data set for information on the additional fields present in the shapefiles: cYear, country, lat, lon, statusCode, statusDate, remarks and qcCheck.



    2) Data sources



    For the 2nd River Basin Management Plans, spatial data was reported under the "Water Framework Directive - River Basin Management Plans - 2016 Spatial data" (hereafter WFD2016). See http://rod.eionet.europa.eu/obligations/717 for further information on the reporting.



    Refer to the Technical Report which accompanies the data set the full list of CDR data sets.



    3) Data processing



    Refer to the Technical Report which accompanies the data set for further information.



    4) Data quality



    No geometric or topological error correction was performed.

    Basic automated editing of string values (upper-casing, trimming, removal of invalid characters or values) was performed.



    Refer to the Data Quality report of the CDR deliveries ( http://rod.eionet.europa.eu/obligations/717/deliveries) for further information.



    5) WISE registers



    For river basin districts and sub-units, the register of WISE thematic identifiers is kept in http://dd.eionet.europa.eu/vocabulary/wise/SpatialUnit



    For surface water bodies and groundwater bodies, the register of WISE thematic identifiers is kept in http://dd.eionet.europa.eu/vocabulary/wise/WaterBody



    For monitoring sites, the register of WISE thematic identifiers is kept in http://dd.eionet.europa.eu/vocabulary/wise/MonitoringSite
