<abstract>
This GIS data layer contains the river basin districts located in the region covered by the transboundary Daugava/Nemunas database. Attributes contain information about the river basin district polygons.The primary data source for the data set is the European River Basin Districts shapefile (RBDs_europe.shp). The data set is in shapefile format and can be accessed directly from the CD ROM or saved to a local directory.</abstract>
<purpose>
The primary purpose for preparing the data set was to provide information about the river basin districts contained within the DatabasiN region. </purpose>
<supplinf>
This data set is based upon the following data source: European River Basin Districts shapefile Publisher: Susanna Nilsson, Department of Land and Water Resources Engineering, Royal Institute of Technology KTH, Stockholm Publication date: 2005 Publication place: KTH, Stockholm, Sweden The creation of the data set was based on official analogue maps of RBDs from countries implementing the WFD; that is, EU member states, candidate countries except Turkey , and Norway. The maps were collected from web pages or provided by informants well acquainted with its own country's implementation of the WFD. Italy, Greece and Croatia have, as per 30 June 2005, neither identified RBDs nor appointed competent authorities, and they were therefore not included. In Norway and Spain there have not, as per 30 June 2005, yet been decisions concerning RBDs and competent authorities, but as proposals exist they were included in the register. Groundwater and coastal waters are not incorporated in the register. The input data used was a data set in the scale of 1:1 million on river basins draining into the sea, provided by EU's scientific and technical research laboratory the Joint Research Centre (2003). By using the collected analogue map material on RBDs as reference material, all river basins belonging to one district were selected, unified into one polygon and given a unique id number. Thus, the borders of the RBDs were defined based upon the borders of the river basins in the input data set. For international districts, the following delineation logic was applied: For RBDs shared between member states and/or candidate countries information from all countries was compared, matched and combined for delineating the borders of the district. This means that an international district shared by two or more countries only has been counted once, even though each country may have defined the part of the district lying within its own territory as a separate district. For districts with river basins shared with countries outside the union, the borders of the international river basin(s) were used to denote the borders of the district. Because of the restrictions and interpretations outlined above, it should be stressed that the created register does not represents an official map of RBDs; instead, it should be regarded as an output from a scientific effort of making an overview of RBDs established. No access constraints. The source should be cited. Contact institution: Susanna Nilsson, KTH, susanna@kth.se The data set was prepared in the following manner: The RBDs_europe shapefile was clipped to fit the database boundaries. </supplinf>
