WFD Lake Waterbodies Cycle 2

Abstract

This record is for Approval for Access product AfA349. WFD Lake Waterbodies Cycle 2 is a polygon Shapefile dataset containing Water Framework Directive (WFD) attributes that have been collated as defined for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive. Article 2, clause 5 of the WFD defines them as '…a body of standing inland surface water'. There is data on the physical characteristics, risk, classification and proposed objectives that can be linked to waterbodies by their unique identifiers. Artificial and modified lake waterbodies 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. Any lake judged to be a drinking water protected area was also included. Each waterbody has been assigned 'WB_ID', which is a unique identifier that enables a link to WFD attributes. These data apply to Cycle 2 of the Water Framework Directive. The equivalent layer for Cycle 1 is covered by AfA083. Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2015.

Lineage

This data was created from the UK Lake Inventory dataset which itself took geometry from 1:50k OS products. Cycle 2 data is currently just slightly adapted from cycle 1 data with some lakes having been subdivided and some new ones added.
