-- Definition -- A body of standing inland surface water. -- Description -- SOURCE [2000/60/EC Art. 2(5)]. NOTE All WFD spatial object types are regarded as example extensions of the ManagementAreaRestrictionOrRegulationZone spatial object type whose content needs to be further discussed with the relevant WISE and WFD reporting working groups.
-- Definition -- A body of inland water flowing for the most part on the surface of the land but which may flow underground for part of its course. -- Description -- SOURCE [2000/60/EC Art. 2(4)]. NOTE All WFD spatial object types are regarded as example extensions of the ManagementAreaRestrictionOrRegulationZone spatial object type whose content needs to be further discussed with the relevant WISE and WFD reporting working groups.
-- Definition -- Abstract class containing common attributes for a WFD river or lake. -- Description -- NOTE All WFD spatial object types are regarded as example extensions of the ManagementAreaRestrictionOrRegulationZone spatial object type whose content needs to be further discussed with the relevant WISE and WFD reporting working groups.
-- Definition -- 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 which are substantially influenced by freshwater flows. -- Description -- SOURCE [2000/60/EC Art. 2(6)]. NOTE All WFD spatial object types are regarded as example extensions of the ManagementAreaRestrictionOrRegulationZone spatial object type whose content needs to be further discussed with the relevant WISE and WFD reporting working groups.
-- Definition -- A discrete and significant element of surface water. -- Description -- SOURCE [Based on 2000/60/EC Art. 2(10)]. EXAMPLE A lake, a reservoir, a stream, river or canal, part of a stream, river or canal, a transitional water or a stretch of coastal water. NOTE 1 The surface water bodies shall be identified as falling within either one of the following surface water categories - rivers, lakes, transitional waters or coastal waters - or as artificial surface water bodies or heavily modified surface water bodies. [2000/60/EC Ann. II 1.1(ii)] NOTE 2 All WFD spatial object types are regarded as example extensions of the ManagementAreaRestrictionOrRegulationZone spatial object type whose content needs to be further discussed with the relevant WISE and WFD reporting working groups.
-- Definition -- A distinct volume of groundwater within an aquifer or aquifers. -- Description -- SOURCE [2000/60/EC Art. 2(12)]. NOTE All WFD spatial object types are regarded as example extensions of the ManagementAreaRestrictionOrRegulationZone spatial object type whose content needs to be further discussed with the relevant WISE and WFD reporting working groups.
-- Definition -- Surface water on the landward side of a line, every point of which is at a distance of one nautical mile on the seaward side from the nearest point of the baseline from which the breadth of territorial waters is measured, extending where appropriate up to the outer limit of transitional waters. -- Description -- SOURCE [2000/60/EC Art. 2(7)]. NOTE All WFD spatial object types are regarded as example extensions of the ManagementAreaRestrictionOrRegulationZone spatial object type whose content needs to be further discussed with the relevant WISE and WFD reporting working groups.
