WFD Transitional Water Bodies Cycle 1
Summary
WFD Transitional Water Bodies Cycle 1 is a polygon Shapefile dataset containing attributes that have been collated as defined for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). The WFD defines Transitional water bodies as ‘…bodies of surface water in the vicinity of river mouths which are partly saline in character as a result of their proximity to coastal waters but are substantially influenced by freshwater flows’. These are also referred to as estuaries. The delineation...

Lineage
Transitional water bodies were defined from Mean High Water boundaries, taken directly from OS 1:50K and Environment Agency estuarine boundaries defined for the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD). The delineation between coastal and estuarine waters was delineated by the Environment Agency defined transitional water bodies. Water bodies are also split and assigned to River Basin Districts.
