  <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 (WGS84)`_ 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 (WGS84) 2023`_

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