WFD Groundwater Management Catchments Cycle 2

Management Catchments are the geographical units for which action plans are drafted in implementing the Water framework Directive (WFD). The Groundwater Management catchments comprise collections of groundwater bodies (AfA 293). They are larger in size than the Groundwater Operational catchments, but created from the same base datasets. WFD Management Catchments have an action plan published that relates to all waterbodies that fall within its boundaries.
