  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">This dataset contains the boundaries for river catchments in Scotland 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 Scotland. England and Wales are 
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 Scotland based 
on Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) catchments (WGS84) 2023`_ 
and this dataset a projected CRS British National Grid (BNG - EPSG 27700) .
