Water Body RNAGS Anglian GW: Pressures Preventing Good Water Status

Environment Agency data identifies pressures preventing water bodies in the Anglian GW catchment from achieving good status. Each pressure is assigned a level of certainty as suspected, probable, or confirmed. This retired dataset supports Water Framework Directive river basin management plans and is available interactively online.

Use Cases

• Identify key environmental pressures based on the listed reasons for not achieving good status (RNAGS).
• Analyze trends in water quality deterioration based on the recorded reasons for deterioration (RFDs).
• Prioritize catchment management interventions based on the assigned certainty levels for each pressure.

Strengths

• Data is linked to official Water Framework Directive river basin management plans.
• Each pressure reason includes a level of certainty (suspected, probable, confirmed).

Limitations

• This dataset has been retired and superseded by another record.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
