Title

Catchment boundaries for England, Scotland and Wales based on existing Fish Health Inspectorate (FHI) and SEPA catchments (BNG) 2023

Abstract

This dataset contains the boundaries for river catchments in England, Scotland and Wales based on the dataset `Hydrological sections for England, Scotland and Wales with associated river catchment 2023, Water Framework Directive (WFD) waterbody and regional information British National Grid (BNG)`_ These catchment boundaries have been derived from hydrological sections, have boundaries almost identical to existing Fish Health Inspectorate river catchments, and include complete coverage of the waterbodies under the Water Framework Directive. Note this dataset includes catchments in England, Scotland and Wales. Scotland catchments are taken from Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) catchments. For coverage of England and Wales only use `Catchment boundaries for England and Wales based on existing Fish Health Inspectorate (FHI) catchments 2023 - British National Grid (BNG)`_** ** There are 2 versions of the dataset; a geographical coordinate reference system (CRS) WGS84 (EPSG 4326) see `Catchment boundaries for England, Scotland and Wales based on existing Fish Health Inspectorate (FHI) and SEPA catchments (WGS84) 2023`_* *and this dataset a projected CRS British National Grid (BNG - EPSG 27700)*.* .. _`hydrological sections for england, scotland and wales with associated river catchment 2023, water framework directive (wfd) waterbody and regional information british national grid (bng)`: https://data.cefas.co.uk/view/21750 .. _`catchment boundaries for england and wales based on existing fish health inspectorate (fhi) catchments 2023 - british national grid (bng)`: https://data.cefas.co.uk/view/21966 .. _`catchment boundaries for england, scotland and wales based on existing fish health inspectorate (fhi) and sepa catchments (wgs84) 2023`: https://data.cefas.co.uk/view/21749

Lineage

The polygons in this dataset have been derived by dissolving the sections according to the "**ESW_CatID" **field in the **Hydrological sections for England, Scotland and Wales with associated river catchment and regional information **spatial data layer. The polygons contain 3 data fields: - **Catchment_ **- - this is a 5 digit index number for the catchment present as a padded string - **Catchmen_1**- ** - **- this is the name of the catchment - **Count_S_ID**- - this is a count of the number of sections in the catchment
