The WFD Information Centre website is an independent source of information about the Water Framework Directive (WFD). It helps people understand what the Directive means, how it is being implemented, who the key players are and how it is relevant to achieving and maintaining a clean and well-managed water environment, including lakes, reservoirs, rivers, wetlands, groundwater and estuaries and coastal waters - all typical components of a river basin.

The Directive will have an impact, to a greater or lesser extent, on a wide range of people and activities such as water consumers and recreational users, agriculture, industry and business activities.

 

The WFD Information Centre website is managed by the Foundation for Water Research; a charity based in Marlow, UK, whose mission is the advancement of public education in science, engineering and water management.
