Flow Compliance Bands

Summary

This is a national picture of flow compliance with the environmental flow indicator shown for Water Framework Directive Cycle 2 river water bodies. The Environment Flow Indicator (EFI) is used to indicate where abstraction pressures may start to cause undesirable effect on river habitats and species. Non-compliance with the EFI is divided into 3 categories depending on how far below the EFI recent actual flows are.

Lineage

The Environment Flow Indicator (EFI) is used to indicate where abstraction pressures may start to cause undesirable effect on river habitats and species. We have screened all river water bodies (except those in flow regulated rivers) to show where recent actual (existing) abstraction impacts cause flows to fall below the EFI when the flow is low. Non-compliance with the EFI is divided into 3 categories depending on how far below the EFI recent actual flows are.
