According to the WFD reporting guidance, if, and only if, a groundwater body has different horizons, then the spatial delineation of each horizon must be reported. Please refer to Annex 4 in the WFD Reporting Guidance for further information on the spatial delineation of groundwater horizons. The horizon element identifies each of the horizons of a groundwater body, using a simple integer numeration (in the sense of the numerical position of the groundwater body starting with the first horizon from the surface). If the groundwater body belong to a single horizon, then the information in this service matches that of the WFD2016_GroundWaterBody_WM service.The groundwater body horizons spatial dataset can be downloaded via the EEA SDI: https://sdi.eea.europa.eu/catalogue/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/c5009a24-d30d-470d-bcb2-90dc70a0ce81.

According to the Article 6 of the Water Framework Directive (WFD, Directive 2000/60/EC), Member States shall ensure the establishment of a register of all areas lying within each River Basin District which have been designated as requiring special protection under specific Community legislation for the protection of their surface water and groundwater, or for the conservation of habitats and species directly depending on water, including the protection of Natura 2000 sites and economically significant aquatic species (e.g. shellfish). According to Annex IV of the Water Framework Directive, the register shall include the following types of protected areas: (i) areas designated for the abstraction of water intended for human consumption under WFD Article 7; (ii) areas designated for the protection of economically significant aquatic species; (iii) bodies of water designated as recreational waters, including areas designated as bathing waters under the Bathing Water Directive (BWD, Directive 76/160/EEC); (iv) nutrient-sensitive areas, including areas designated as vulnerable zones under the Nitrates Directive (Directive 91/676/EEC) and areas designated as sensitive areas under Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD, Directive 91/271/EEC); and The register shall also include "(v) areas designated for the protection of habitats or species where the maintenance or improvement of the status of water is an important factor in their protection, including relevant Natura 2000 sites designated under the Habitats Directive (Directive 92/43/EEC) and Birds Directive (Directive 79/409/EEC)." The Natura 2000 protected sites are not included in the current data set. The public data set excludes areas that are no longer designated. The public data set excludes drinking water protection areas if file access has been restricted by the data providers.

The service contains information about the ecological status or potential, and about the chemical status of European surface bodies delineated for the 2nd River Basin Management Plans (RBMP) under the Water Framework Directive (WFD). Information is available for the EU Member States, Norway and the United Kingdom. The ecological status is also presented at Quality Element level for the following quality elements: QE1 - Biological quality elements QE1-1 - Phytoplankton QE1-2 - Other aquatic flora QE1-2-1 - Macroalgae QE1-2-2 - Angiosperms QE1-2-3 - Macrophytes QE1-2-4 - Phytobenthos QE1-3 - Benthic invertebrates QE1-4 - Fish QE2 - Hydromorphological quality elements QE2-1 - Hydrological or tidal regime QE2-2 - River continuity conditions QE2-3 - Morphological conditions QE3 - Chemical and physico-chemical quality elements QE3-1 - General parameters QE3-1-1 - Transparency conditions QE3-1-2 - Thermal conditions QE3-1-3 - Oxygenation conditions QE3-1-4 - Salinity conditions QE3-1-5 - Acidification status QE3-1-6 - Nutrient conditions QE3-1-6-1 - Nitrogen conditions QE3-1-6-2 - Phosphorus conditions QE3-3 - River Basin Specific Pollutants The column qeStatusOrPotentialValue contains the ecological status or potential based on the quality elements (i.e. the lowest of the known quality element status values per waterbody).

The dataset contains information the centrelines of rivers, lakes and transitional European surface bodies delineated for the 2nd River Basin Management Plans (RBMP) under the Water Framework Directive (WFD). The struture and content of the SurfaceWaterBodyCentreline dataset is documented in the WISE GIS Guidance (https://cdr.eionet.europa.eu/help/WFD/WFD_521_2016/GISGuidance/WISE_GISGuidance.pdf). A total of 23 countries reported the dataset: AT, BE, BG, CZ, DE, ES, FR, HR, HU, IE, IS, IT, LT, LU, LV, NL, NO, PL, PT, RO, SE, SK, UK. For the remaining countries reporting under WFD, and for some missing water bodies in the 23 countries listed above, the [hydroIdLocalId], [hydroIdNamespace], [geographicalNameText], [geographicalNameLanguage] and [continua] values are empty. The [geometry] column was directly copied from the SurfaceWaterBodyLine dataset, or contains an empty geometry if the the surface water body had been reported as polygon in the SurfaceWaterBody dataset. These cases are documented in the [qcCheck] value.
