To implement the guidance on managing forests in order to minimise adverse impacts in acid-sensitive areas, two categories of acid sensitivity have been identified. These are defined as ‘failing due to acidification’ and ‘at risk of failing due to acidification’.
Water bodies identified as currently ‘failing’ have been verified as a result of actual

This dataset is a GIS layer identifying the canal waterbodies managed under the Water Framework Directive and any related programmes. This includes canals which are reported to Europe as artificial rivers. These waterbodies are represented by their centerline, and can be linked to other WFD data using the unique water body ID (WB_ID). ‘WFD River, canal and SWT Waterbodies Cycle 2’ is

WFD Management Catchments Cycle 2 is a dataset collated as defined for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). Management catchments are the unit of geography for which action plans are drafted in implementing the WFD. This process was conducted by using expert judgement in consultation. WFD Management Catchments have an action plan published that relates to all waterbodies

Operational catchments are a way of grouping Water Framework Directive (WFD) waterbodies together for the purposes of economic appraisal. Every waterbody has been assigned to an Operational catchment. They are not always hydrologically correct catchments as the river waterbodies may have been grouped based on pressures and measures than hydrology. They may also include coastal waters for example.
