DATA ELEMENT WITH FIXED VALUES

Identifier waterBodyIdentifierScheme
Short name Water body type
RegistrationStatus Released 21 July 2015
Reference URL http://dd-test.01dev.eea.europa.eu/dataelements/latest/waterBodyIdentifierScheme
Name Water body identifier scheme
Definition Specification of whether the water body is a WFD water body ('euGroundwaterBodyCode' or 'euSurfaceWaterBodyCode') or not ('eionetGroundwaterBodyCode' or 'eionetSurfaceWaterBodyCode').
Methodology for obtaining data This value is required.

If the water body is reported under WFD, use the value 'euGroundwaterBodyCode' or 'euSurfaceWaterBodyCode' for the "waterBodyIdentifierScheme" field.

If the water body is NOT reported under WFD (e.g. non-EU countries reporting under WISE SoE only, or countries providing information about water bodies that are not WFD water bodies), use the value 'eionetGroundwaterBodyCode' or 'eionetSurfaceWaterBodyCode' for the "waterBodyIdentifierScheme" field.

For each identifier scheme, a list of valid "waterBodyIdentifier" values will be kept updated, based on the information reported under the WISE Spatial data flow.
