Metadata: Urban Waste Water Treatment Regulations (UWWTR)
Abstract:
'Urban waste water' is defined in the Urban Waster Water Treatment Regulations (UWWTR) as the mixture of domestic waste water from kitchens, bathrooms and toilets, the waste water from industries discharging to sewers, and rainwater run-off from roads and other impermeable surfaces such as roofs, pavements and roads draining to sewers. Urban waste water is often referred to as ‘sewage’. The UWWTR is intended to protect the water environment for the animals and plants that live in and around water, as well as for recreational purposes and use as a resource for drinking water, sanitation, industry and commerce. Under the UWWTR further sensitive areas have been identified because further treatment than secondary or equivalent treatment is necessary to meet other EC Directives such as the Water Framework Directive. Areas that come under as sensitive areas include Bathing Waters, Shellfish Waters and waters that are or soon to be Eutrophic. This entry refers to a series of spatial datasets that can used in Urban Waste Water management. In 2023 the dataset was updated and renamed from the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD). Please see the child metadata entries for more information on these updates.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 8853 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | Urban Waste Water Treatment Regulations (UWWTR) |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Dwr Gwastraff Trefol |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | NRW_DS121599 |
