River basin districts (land and marine)
Description
Defined river basin districts as defined in the Water Framework Directive (WFD). The river basin district is defined as the land and marine area composed of one or more river basins and their coastal, transitional and underground waters.
The current version of this data set (January 2022) is adapted, in the terrestrial area of the demarcations, to Order TEC/921/2018 of 30 August 2018 defining the lines indicating the main cartographic limits of the territorial areas of the river basin confederations in accordance with the provisions of Royal Decree 650/1987 of 8 May 1987 defining the territorial areas of the river basin bodies and the river basin management plans.
Due to the improvement in the geometric definition of the municipal and coastal boundary lines made by the Cartographic and Geological Institute of Catalonia in 2021, this data set has been modified including these improvements in the coastline. Given that there is a section that, even though it is a coastline, had been defined as the limit of the territorial scope of the Ebro and Cuencas Internas de Cataluña river basin districts by Order TEC/921/2018, in this small section the new improved coastline does not exactly comply with this limit. In any case, this stretch of coastline is included as a boundary between demarcations in this data set, waiting to solve later this slight discrepancy resulting from an improvement in cartographic resolution.
As regards the marine area, the azimuths of the coastal boundary lines between river basin districts follow the provisions of Royal Decree 125/2007 of 2 February 2007 establishing the territorial scope of river basin districts.
