Help with Operational Catchments
The Operational Catchments available for selection are the WFD (Water Framework Directive) Surface Water Operational Catchments. As these catchments are used for managing WFD they may not always have recognisable catchment names. To view more details about these catchments you can access the Catchment Data Explorer (CDE) . Once on the CDE home page you can search for individual catchments or scroll down to the Data>Geometry box and download the list of catchments from the Shapefile/GeoJSON links. Further help on selecting the catchments is available in the How to use section.

Previewing your data

Once your data points are displayed on the map you can view the full dataset in the tabs in this section. Each dataset you selected (regardless of whether there are any results) will have a separate tab displayed e.g., FW Fish, River Invertebrates. This tab may then be split into multiple data tables e.g., Site, Fish counts, Metrics etc.

You can filter and sort your data further in these data tables or download data to manipulate and view later. If the data you require are not displayed you can change the geographical area or time period in the initial selection boxes and re-load your data by pressing the ‘Load data’ button.

For further information on using the Map and filters, as well as explanations of the datasets please see the ‘Learn more’ section below.

Note: Tabs will only be displayed in this section if you have selected them in the ‘select datasets’ box. The tab will be visible whether there is data available or not. A map legend will only be displayed if there are data available for those datasets in the selected time period and geographical area.
