- Our corporate scorecard shows a high level overview of our performance against our environmental and business aims. The scorecard is reported every 3 months to executive directors, the board, Defra, and is made public on GOV.UK. Targets are set for each of these measures. For each measure, we show how we’re currently performing and whether or not we’re on track to achieve our target performance by the end of the year. Each measure has a more detailed ‘insight report’ that tells the story of how we’re performing as well as showing trends and future forecasts.

- This dataset is a product of a national assessment of flood risk for England produced using local expertise. This dataset is produced using the Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea data which shows the chance of flooding from rivers and/or the sea, based on cells of 50m. Each cell is allocated one of four flood risk categories, taking into account flood defences and their condition. This dataset uses OS data to assign one of four flood risk categories to each property, based simply on the category allocated to the cell that the property is in. Individual addresses are not provided, but OS referencing is included to enable the data to be linked to address databases. NOTE: We have paused quarterly updates of this dataset. Please visit the “Pause to Updates of Flood Risk Maps” announcement on our support pages for further information. We will provide notifications on the Check Your Long-Term Flood Risk website to indicate where we have new flood risk information.

- This dataset is a subset of the "WFD Classification Status Cycle 2" product. It contains summary data for the element temperature for river water bodies, as used in the classification for Ecological status for the water framework directive (WFD). The temperature classification dataset is an element of the physico-chemical group or element set and is used to consider particular phyisco-chemical conditions. Water temperatures are affected by natural and anthropogenic influences. Classifications are derived from spot sampling monitoring data, the results of which are calculated into percentiles and assessed against two different environmental quality standards (EQS), which are derived from site typology. Site classifications for temperature use categories of High, Good, Moderate, Poor, and Bad. Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2016.

- This dataset is not suitable for identifying whether an individual property will flood. GIS layer showing the flood hazard rating for flooding from surface water that could result from a flood with a 3.3% chance of happening in any given year. The flood hazard rating is defined as a function of simultaneous depth and velocity and grouped into 4 bands. This dataset is one output of our Risk of Flooding from Surface Water (RoFSW) mapping, previously known as the updated Flood Map for Surface Water (uFMfSW). It is one of a group of datasets previously available as the uFMfSW Complex Package. Further information on using these datasets can be found at the Resource Locator link below. Information Warnings: Risk of Flooding from Surface Water is not to be used at property level. If the Content is displayed in map form to others we recommend it should not be used with basemapping more detailed than 1:10,000 as the data is open to misinterpretation if used as a more detailed scale. Because of the way they have been produced and the fact that they are indicative, the maps are not appropriate to act as the sole evidence for any specific planning or regulatory decision or assessment of risk in relation to flooding at any scale without further supporting studies or evidence.

- This modelled fluvial flood depth data with climate change was created for the 1% annual chance of flooding situations and was produced as a by-product from the 2004 generalised modelling project. The purpose of the generalised modelling project was to fill the gaps where there was no detailed local modelled data in 2004, in order to define the extents of Flood Zones for spatial planning. The purpose of this climate change data was to provide a high-level sensitivity analysis of the possible effects of climate change based on a 20% increase in peak flows in the fluvial modelling. A two-dimensional hydrodynamic model called JFlow was used to produce this modelled fluvial flood depth data on a 5x5m grid. Since 2004, some local detailed modelling projects have included scenarios for climate change however this climate change dataset has not been updated. INFORMATION WARNING: This data is not suitable for identifying whether an individual property will flood due to climate change, for detailed decision making or for use in site specific Flood Risk or Strategic Flood Risk Assessments. Where this data is used further evidence, verification and studies should be undertaken. Climate change allowances have changed since this work was completed in 2004. More recent, accurate and local detailed modelling depth data with climate change is available for some places. Please contact your local Environment Agency office to see if detailed modelling is available for your area of interest. This metadata record is for Approval for Access product AfA480 2004 Climate Change 1 in 100 Fluvial Flood Depth Grids Modelled fluvial flood depth data with climate change are available for the whole of England, however this data is for the 100x100km squared Ordnance Survey National Grid reference TV. If you are interested in data for another grid reference refer to this Ordnance Survey National Grid document to find the relevant referencing code and search on Data.gov.uk again to download the data.

- This dataset is a GIS layer identifying the river waterbodies managed under the Water Framework Directive and any related programmes. This includes canals and surface water transfers which are reported to Europe as artificial rivers. These can be identified using the 'WB_CAT' field. These waterbodies are represented by their centreline, and can be linked to other WFD data using the unique water body ID (WB_ID). ‘WFD River, canal and SWT Waterbodies Cycle 2’ is a subset extracted from the Environment Agency’s Detailed River Network, with attributes removed and merged on the WB_ID.

- This record is for Approval for Access product AfA162.1 'Historic GQA Headline Indicators of Water Courses - Chemistry - GQAHI (England)'. The General Quality Assessment (GQA) Headline Indicator scheme or GQAHI (previously known as GQA) was the Environment Agency's national indicator for water quality in rivers and canals. It was designed to provide an accurate and consistent assessment of the state of water quality and how it changed over time as a national picture. These assessments were made for Biological, Chemical and Nutrients and undertaken for discrete river stretches. The Chemistry GQAHI scheme had over 3000 sampling sites which provided information for approximately 22500 km of watercourses. In Wales we maintained the full GQA network until 2010 based on 800 sampling sites which provided information for approximately 4700km. Chemistry GQAHI/GQA sites were sampled twelve times a year, the samples being taken at the same spot on each sampling occasion to ensure consistency. In England each chemical sample was measured for ammonia and dissolved oxygen. In Wales each chemical sample was measured for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), ammonia and dissolved oxygen (the most common types of organic pollution from sewage treatment works, agriculture and industry). A category was assigned using three years worth of samples for each sampled chemical and assigned a category assessed against chemical standards expressed as percentiles The data collected over three years were used to determine average nutrient concentrations. So the classification for the year 2008 includes the results for 2006 and 2007. Subsequently a category was assigned to each length of river according to the lowest standard achieved by any of the two or three measurements. The Chemistry GQA used in Wales described quality in terms of three chemical measurements that detect the most common types of organic pollution from sewage treatment works, agriculture and industry. The chemistry GQAHI scheme used in England used the same methods however the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) component of the assessment had been removed.Grades of river quality for the chemical GQA, Chemical grade Likely uses and characteristics* A: Very good, All abstractions, Very good Salmonid fisheries, Cyprinid fisheries, Natural ecosystems. B: Good, All abstractions, Salmonid fisheries, Cyprinid fisheries, Ecosystems at or close to natural. C: Fairly good, Potable supply after advanced treatment, Other abstractions, Good Cyprinid fisheries, Natural ecosystems, or those corresponding to good Cyprinid fisheries D: Fair, Potable supply after advanced treatment, Other abstractions, Fair Cyprinid fisheries, Impacted ecosystems. E: Poor Low grade abstraction for industry, Fish absent or sporadically present, vulnerable to pollution**, Impoverished ecosystems** F: Bad, Very polluted rivers which may cause nuisance, Severely restricted ecosystems *Provided other standards are met **Where the grade is caused by discharges of organic pollution. 2009 is the final year of the scheme. In 2007 the England GQA river network was reduced to the GQAHI river network. The assessment was changed to be based on total ammonia and dissolved oxygen only. Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) was removed from the assessment and all past grades re-calculated. The data described have been amended to be consistent and comparable for all years.
