  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">This dataset consists of hydrologically defined sections (polygons) for the 
whole of Great Britain including river channels and coastal areas up to the 
mean high water line for England and Wales. Each section has the following 
attributes:


- The devolved administration(s) the section is within
- The area of the section that is contained within the devolved 
 administration(s)
- The regional administration (from the Ordnance Survey Boundary Line) that 
 the majority of the section is within
- The river catchment that the section is within. These are the existing 
 Fish Health Inspectorate (FHI) catchment boundaries, new England and Wales 
 catchments to ensure complete coverage of England and Wales, and the 
 Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) catchments.
- The waterbody river basin district ID and waterbody ID for England and 
 Wales from the Water Framework Directive.

There are 2 versions of this dataset; this one in a geographical coordinate 
reference system (CRS) (EPSG 4236 - WGS84) and the dataset in a projected CRS 
BNG (EPSG 27700) see `Hydrological sections for England, Scotland and Wales
