WISE WFD river basin district sub-units reported under Water Framework Directive 2016 - INTERNAL VERSION - version 1.0, Jul. 2017

The dataset contains information on the European river basin district sub-units delineated for the 2nd River Basin Management Plans (RBMP) under the Water Framework Directive (WFD).

This data set is available only for internal use of the European Commission and the European Environment Agency. Please search for "PUBLIC VERSION" in the dataset title to access the publicly available version.

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:

River basin district: The area of land and sea, made up of one or more neighbouring river basins together with their associated groundwaters and coastal waters, which is the main unit for management of river basins.

River basin: The area of land from which all surface run-off flows through a sequence of streams, rivers and, possibly, lakes into the sea at a single river mouth, estuary or delta.

Sub-basin: The area of land from which all surface run-off flows through a series of streams, rivers and, possibly, lakes to a particular point in a water course (normally a lake or a river confluence).

Sub-unit [Operational definition. Not in the WFD]: Reporting unit. River basin districts larger than 50000 square kilometre should be divided into comparable sub-units with an area between 5000 and 50000 square kilometre. The sub-units should be created using river basins (if more than one river basin exists in the RBD), set of contiguous river basins, or sub-basins, for example. If the RBD area is less than 50000 square kilometre, the RBD itself should be used as a sub-unit.

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
