CATCHMENT DATA

EXPLORER – ENGLAND

The 2019 classification results for England
were published in 2020, but no specific
national report was produced to summarize
or interpret them. https://deframedia.
blog.gov.uk/2020/09/18/latest-water-
classifications-results-published/
Instead, the results are mapped on the
Catchment Data Explorer tool. (144)
https://environment.data.gov.uk/
catchment-planning/ – from here you can
download the results by River Basin District
as a CSV file that can be opened in Excel,
or you can drill down to individual water
bodies. Results can also be obtained from the
Catchment Based Approach website https://
data.catchmentbasedapproach.org/ (146)

An example output map is shown in Figure 6.6.
This is for the River Kennet in southern England,
a tributary of the River Thames.
