Dataset description

This dataset is a GIS layer identifying the Surface Water Transfer (SWT) waterbodies managed under the Water Framework Directive and any related programmes. This includes SWT which are reported to Europe as artificial rivers. These waterbodies are represented by their centreline, and can be linked to other Water Framework Directive (WFD) data using the unique water body ID (WB_ID). WFD River, canal and SWT Waterbodies Cycle 2, is a subset extracted from the Natural Resources Wales Detailed River Network, with attributes removed and merged on the WB_ID. Updated to 2018 version

Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.
Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.
Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.
Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
