Water Framework Directive (WFD) Regulations Cycle 3 Classification

This dataset shows the boundaries and baseline classification, undertaken in 2021, for The Water Framework Directive (WFD) Cycle 3. It is an update in classification for all water bodies in Wales following on from the cycle 1 and cycle 2 classification rounds.
The Water Environment (Water Framework Directive) (England & Wales) Regulations 2017 (referred to as the WFD Regulations) provide a framework for managing the water environment in England and Wales. The Directive aims for “good status” of all ground and surface water (rivers, lakes, transitional water, and coastal waters). Under the WFD Regulations, a river basin management plan must be prepared for each river basin district. The plan includes environmental objectives and a summary of the programmes of measures required to achieve those objectives.

本数据集展示了2021年进行的《水框架指令》（WFD）第三周期的边界与基线分类情况。该数据集是对威尔士境内所有水体在第一周期和第二周期分类轮次之后的分类更新。《水环境（水框架指令）（英格兰及威尔士）法规2017》（以下简称WFD法规）为英格兰及威尔士的水环境管理提供了一个框架。该指令旨在实现所有地下水及地表水（河流、湖泊、过渡水域及沿海水域）的“良好状态”。根据WFD法规，每个流域区必须制定一个流域管理计划，该计划包括环境目标和实现这些目标所需措施的计划概要。
