WISE Water Framework Directive Database
The WISE Water Framework Directive database contains data from the 1st, and 2nd, and 3rd River Basin Management Plans (RBMPs) reported by EU Members States, Norway and the United Kingdom according to article 13 of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). The database includes information about surface water bodies (number and size, water body category, ecological status or potential, chemical status, significant pressures and impacts, and exemptions) and about groundwater bodies (number and size, quantitative status, chemical status, significant pressures and impacts, and exemptions), as well as data from the ground water methodology schema (GWMET), surface water methodology schema (SWMET), the monitoring schema (Monitoring), the River Basin Management Plans Program of Measures (RBMPPoM), and the River Basin Districts, Sub-units and Competent Authorities (RBDSUCA). The information is presented by country, river basin district (RBD) and river basin district sub-unit (where applicable).
