This dataset contains the boundaries for river catchments in Scotland based on
the dataset Hydrological sections for England, Scotland and Wales with associated river catchment 2023, Water Framework Directive (WFD) waterbody and regional information (WGS84)_ 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 only includes catchments in Scotland. England and Wales are
represented as a single area. For complete coverage of England, Scotland and
Wales use Catchment boundaries for England, Scotland and Wales based on existing Fish Health Inspectorate (FHI) and SEPA catchments (WGS84) 2023_
There are 2 versions of the dataset; this one a geographical coordinate
reference system (CRS) WGS84 (EPSG 4326) and one projected to CRS British
National Grid (BNG - EPSG 27700) see Catchment boundaries for Scotland based on Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) catchments British National Grid (BNG) 2023_
