Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, Sensitive areas - rivers reported under UWWTD data call 2015, Nov. 2017
Reference layer of the rivers sensitive areas, Nov. 2017 is one of the datasets produced within the frame of the reporting under 9th UWWTD Art.15 reporting period (UWWTD data call 2015). The Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD) (91/271/EEC) obliges Member States to report data on the implementation of the Directive upon request from the European Commission bi-annually. Reported data include receiving areas as designated under UWWTD, agglomerations, urban waste water treatment plants serving the agglomerations and points of discharges. Receiving area is the area receiving discharges of waste water from agglomerations. SA_river: the layer displays rivers designated by Member States as sensitive.

Vector database of the sensitive areas was compiled by the ETC ICM from the spatial data submission reported in previous UWWTD reporting periods and updated for the last time within 9th UWWTD reporting period (UWWTD data call 2015). European seamless dataset of sensitive areas represent the final product of European data integration. The process of data integration started when national deliveries have been accepted in the EIONET Central Data Repository and the letter of confirmation delivered . Delivered national data were produced in standard European coordinate reference - ETRS89. The procedure of creating and updating a GIS reference layer on sensitive areas was the following: 1) Investigating the data format used and transformation to shape file (where needed) 2) Investigating the coordinate system used and projecting the data to ETRS89 coordinate system (where needed) 3) Overlaying the data with the ERM 1:250 000 boundaries using the update function 4) Fitting of sensitive areas inside ERM boundaries using the dissolve and eliminate functions 5) Creating of normal areas inside the countries as a supplement to sensitive areas 6) Harmonization of attributes - re-naming of columns, changing of column types 7) Loading the cleaned MS layer into the resulting EU layer. If the newly loaded member state layer is an update of an existing layer in the EU dataset, the old data for the country being updated is completely removed first 8) Cleaning of the resulting EU layer using editing tools and the repair geometry function. The most important work was the trans-boundary harmonization and harmonization of attributes. Some of the topology requirements had to be neglected and reference layers were created, even though not being absolutely topologically clean. For the working scale of 1:250 000, most of the remaining inconsistencies are not visible at all, especially for small polygons or lines. The rules on overlapping different sensitive areas layers had to be completely neglected.
A detailed description of the dataset and its processing is provided with the dataset (UWWTD_GIS_reference_v4.pdf).
