The following class (child of SurfaceWaterBody) is used to report River Basin Specific Pollutants (RBSPs) for which the status or potential is less than good. The full class has to be reported once for each failing RBSP.
Quality checks: Conditional check: Report at least one RBSP if and only if, when SWB/QualityElement/qeCode is 'QE3-3 - River Basin Specific Pollutants', SWB/QualityElement/qeStatusOrPotentialValue is equal to '3'.

Territorial waters are not a water body category under the WFD. However, Article 2.1 of the WFD indicates that chemical status applies also to territorial waters. Member States are therefore asked to report the relevant information for the part of territorial waters which extend beyond coastal waters. Non-relevant information, such as water body type or ecological status, should not be reported for territorial waters (see the guidance provided for these schema elements).
Reservoirs should be reported as lake water bodies (‘LW’) even when they were formed by damming rivers. The schema element reservoir allows for distinguishing heavily modified lake water bodies which were originally rivers from those which were already lakes before being modified.

Required. Indicate whether the surface water body is natural, artificial, or heavily modified.
Note: a water body cannot be both artificial and heavily modified.
A reservoir may be artificial (e.g. constructed for bankside storage) or heavily modified (e.g. a dammed or impounded river).
A canal may be artificial (e.g. specifically constructed for navigation where there was no surface water body before) or heavily modified (e.g. a river that has been deepened or widened or otherwise engineered for navigation).
The identification of the category for heavily modified water bodies (HMWBs), as described in the element surfaceWaterBodyCategory, does not preclude any decision regarding the factors to use in deriving typology and the quality elements to use in the assessment of the HMWBs. According to the WFD Annex II, 1.1.v, the typology differentiation should be undertaken in accordance with the descriptors for whichever natural surface water category most closely resembles the HMWB concerned. Similarly, the quality elements should be those applicable to whichever natural surface water category most closely resembles the HMWB (WFD Annex V, 1.1.5).
The option "Natural" should be chosen for territorial waters.

Conditional. For HMWBs only, report the physical alteration that has resulted in the designation of the surface water body as a HMWB. In the context of designation, physical alterations mean any significant alterations that have resulted in substantial changes to the hydromorphology of a surface water body such that the surface water body is substantially changed in character. In general, these hydromorphological characteristics are long-term and alter both the morphological and hydrological characteristics. Further guidance on the terms is found in the Glossary section below.
Quality checks: Conditional check: Report if and only if naturalAWBHMWB is ‘Heavily Modified’.

type

YesNoNotApplicable_Union_Enum

Required. The Directive requires co-ordination among Member States for the management of transboundary waters. Transboundary water bodies are those crossing the border between countries or constituting part of the border between two countries for a certain length. A water body that is entirely within one Member State but is contiguous with a water body in another country is, for the purposes of this reporting, also considered as a transboundary water body.
For the sake of clarity, each Member State should report on its own part of these water bodies. In the case of water bodies shared by more than one country (as opposed to contiguous water bodies), geographic information should therefore be provided for the part of the water body within the reporting Member State and for all elements which have a clear geographical reference (e.g. size, monitoring stations). Each Member State should also report on all elements that apply to the whole water body (status, pressures, etc), even in the cases in which these are identical in each of the Member States concerned as a result of the co-ordinated management required by the Directive.
Similarly, for water bodies which constitute part of the border between two countries the same principles apply. In the case of rivers represented as lines, the same line will have to be reported by both Member States concerned, instead of reporting different but adjacent areas, as is the case, for example, for a lake that extends across the border.
Not applicable for territorial waters.
Quality checks: Within-schema check: 'Not applicable' should be reported if and only if SurfaceWaterBodyCategory is 'TeW'.

'Monitoring': there is monitoring data available from this water body and this was used for classfication.
‘Grouping’: there is no monitoring data available from this water body. Monitoring from other similar water bodies was used as a basis for classification, as described in the methodology for classification.
‘Combination monitoring/grouping’: limited monitoring data available from this water body was used for classification in combination with grouping.
'Modelling': means the QE status reported was based on modelling and/or statistical analysis.
'Expert judgement': there is no monitoring data available in this surface water body. Results from other similar water bodies were not used. The status is mainly based on expert judgement.

Conditional. If no monitoring data is available for this surface water body and status has been derived through grouping by extrapolating monitoring data from other surface water bodies, indicate the codes of the surface water bodies which have been monitored and used for the classification of this water body.
For example if the status of surface water body A has been determined by extrapolating monitoring data from surface water bodies B and C, then the euSurfaceWaterBodyCode for surface water bodies B and C should be reported in this element.
Quality checks: Conditional check: Report if and only if swChemicalMonitoringResults is ‘Grouping’.
Within-schema check: Each water body code reported must be identical to a thematicIdIdentifier reported for surface water bodies in spatial data.

Required. Report the period in which good chemical status is expected to be achieved. Select the option ‘2021 or ealier’ if good chemical status has already been reached or is expected to be reached by 2021.
The methodology of this assessment should be clearly explained in the RBMP or background documents (reference reported under classification methodologies, see section 7.3).
If good chemical status will not be achieved by 2021, exemptions have to be reported. Please report the period in which it is expected that good chemical status will be achieved in full, not the date relating to individual exemptions. However, please note the following:
Article 4(4) exemptions relate to the extension of deadlines. According to Article 4(4)(c) of the WFD, postponing the achievement of objectives beyond two further updates of the river basin management plan is only possible due to natural conditions.
If Article 4(5) exemptions apply, report the period in which the less stringent objective is expected to be achieved. If the less stringent objective has already been achieved then select 'Less stringent objectives already achieved'.
If less stringent objectives have been set under Art. 4(5) for some substances and a time extension was applied under Art. 4(4) for other substances, please report the period in which both conditions are expected to be achieved: good status for the substances under an Art. 4(4) exemption and less stringent objectives reached for the substances under an Art. 4(5) exemption.
Quality checks: Within-schema check: 'Less stringent objectives already achieved' is only a valid entry if 'Article 4(5)…' is reported under swChemicalExemptionType.
