WFD Canal Waterbodies

Water Framework Directive (WFD) Canal Waterbodies are the management and reporting units for the WFD. This is a polyline shapefile dataset which is formed from a Waterways Ireland Canal Polygon dataset and river network dataset. These canal waterbodies are also included in the overall River Waterbodies (RWB) WFD dataset. Each waterbody has a unique identifier (EU_CD) so the dataset can be linked directly to other WFD data sources such as physical characteristics, risk, classification and other objectives.
