Surface water bodies and their catchment areas, 2022-2027

Vector files with the delineation of the surface water bodies and their catchment areas. In implementation of the European Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) and the Flemish Decree on Integrated Water Policy (18 July 2003), the surface water bodies are demarcated in the river basin management plans. These are evaluated every 6 years. A surface water body is a distinct (part of a) stream, river, canal or transitional water or a stagnant body of water such as a lake or a water basin. The map layers contain the axes of rivers, transitional waters and lakes, as well as the polygons of the lakes and transitional waters. In addition, the individual catchment areas of the upper water bodies are also determined. The files are a derivative product of the Flemish Hydrographic Atlas. In the current river basin management plans, the navigable watercourses and the non-navigable watercourses of categories 1, 2 and 3 from the VHA atlas are further divided as separate water bodies. All non-categorized watercourses, referred to as “canals” (“G”), are also local water bodies but are not delimited in the river basin management plans.
