Waterbody Id (United Kingdom)
In the United Kingdom , inland waters and their catchment areas are recorded with the Waterbody Id and their data can be called up in the Catchment Data Explorer .
As is customary with bodies of water , length specifications can include not only a watercourse or a section of a watercourse but also one or the other inlet.
The numbers rise and fall in the direction of flow.
Example of a sequence of numbers in Northumbria (for a better understanding, upstream sections of the same body of water are marked with ↑ and flowing waters with ←):
- GB103025072595 = Tees from Skerne to Tidal Limit (i.e. up to the tidal limit, i.e. at the beginning of the estuary ; with tributaries)
- ← GB103025072100 = Clow Beck from Barton Beck to Tees
- ← GB103025072040 = Barton Beck from Source to Clow Beck
- ← GB103025072060 = Aldbrough Beck from Forcett Park Catch to Clow Bk
- ← GB103025072100 = Clow Beck from Barton Beck to Tees
- ↑ GB103025072190 = Tees from River Greta to River Skerne (with a tributary stretch)
- ↑ GB103025072512 = Tees from Percy Beck to River Greta (without tributaries)
- ↑ GB103025072511 = Tees from Maize Beck to Percy Beck (with tributaries, but without the Lune that opens in the middle)
- ← GB103025072330 = Lune from Selset Reservoir to the River Tees (without tributaries)
- ↑ GB103025072340 = Lune from Long Grain to Selset Reservoir (without tributaries; the Selset Reservoir is divided between this and the following water body)
- ↑ GB103025072250 = Lune from Source to Long Grain (without tributaries)
