  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">This dataset contains the boundaries for river catchments in England and Wales 
based on the dataset `Hydrological sections for England, Scotland and Wales 
with associated river catchment 2023, Water Framework Directive (WFD) 
waterbody and regional information British National Grid (BNG)`_ These 
catchment boundaries have been derived from hydrological sections, have 
boundaries almost identical to existing Fish Health Inspectorate river 
catchments, and include complete coverage of the waterbodies under the Water 
Framework Directive.

Note this dataset only includes catchments in England and Wales. Scotland is 
represented as a single area. For complete coverage of England, Scotland and 
Wales use `Catchment boundaries for England, Scotland and Wales based on 
existing Fish Health Inspectorate (FHI) and SEPA catchments (BNG) 2023`_

There are 2 versions of the dataset; a geographical coordinate reference 
system (CRS) WGS84 (EPSG 4326) see `Catchment boundaries for England and 
Wales based on existing Fish Health Inspectorate (FHI) catchments 2023 
(WGS84)`_* *and this dataset a projected CRS British National Grid (BNG - 
EPSG 27700) .
