Abstract

WFD Lake Water Bodies Cycle 1 is a polygon Shapefile dataset containing attributes that have been collated as defined in the Water Framework Directive as '…a body of standing inland surface water'. Artificial and modified lake water bodies are included within this dataset; however, generally only lakes above > 50 hectares were assessed under the WFD except for lakes in protected areas, where a minimum of 5.0ha was used. Lakes below this threshold are not included within this dataset unless allocated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) as supplied by Natural England. Water bodies are attributed with a unique identifier ‘EA_WB_ID' (equivalent to WB_ID in Cycle 2) so this dataset can be linked directly to other WFD data sources such as physical characteristics, risk, classification and proposed objectives as well as Cycle 2 datasets. This dataset was previously known as WFD Lake Waterbodies This dataset covers the layer for Cycle 1 of the Water Framework Directive. The equivalent layer for Cycle 2 is covered under WFD Lake Water bodies Cycle 2 Please note that the Environment Agency no longer provide data for water bodies in Wales - this should now available from Natural Resources Wales.

Lineage

Contains Ordnance Survey data. Lake water bodies were extracted from the GB lakes inventory and identified from the Ordnance Survey (OS) Land-Form PANORAMA digital map at a scale of 1:50,000 with an initial extraction of all bodies of inland water greater than 0.5ha. A series of manual and automated GIS checking procedures were used to finalise a data set of lakes greater than 1ha. For the first risk assessment of lakes in England and Wales the following criteria were used to select lakes: 1. All lake with an open water area of ≥ 50 ha 2. All lakes falling within a Protected Area with an open water area of ≥5ha. Lakes falling within protected areas were identified by overlaying boundaries of Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) and Special Protection Areas (SPAs). Lists of these lakes were checked by English Nature and Countryside Council for Wales to identify those lakes with “aquatic interest” features. Lakes falling within Drinking Water protected areas were identified using the location of abstraction records held by the Environment.
