The Communities at Risk Register (CaRR) has been developed to provide an objective means of identifying risk and prioritising flood risk management activities at a Wales-wide, community level. It applies a standard methodology across all flood sources to calculate a theoretical ‘danger score’ that allows comparative risks to be quantified and ranked (from High to Low). The CaRR comprises a spreadsheet that identifies and ranks individual communities for, 1. a natural, ‘undefended’ scenario, and 2. a mitigated scenario (based on the presence of defences and flood warning). It is complemented by a GIS layer which defines the individual Community polygons and is attributed with danger scores, community rankings and other metric information.

NRW’s water quality archive holds data from samples collected around Wales, including coastal, estuary, rivers, lakes, ponds, canals, sewage discharges, trade discharges, pollution investigation points and waste sites. Field measurements are taken in situ at the sampling station, but most parameters are analysed in laboratories to measure aspects of the water quality. Once samples have been analysed, the results must be processed and verified before they are added to the water quality archive. Therefore, there is a delay between samples being taken and the data being made available. Data may also be subject to change after publication, but the archive will be updated each month to include corrections. NRW's water quality archive is a large dataset containing some potentially sensitive data and therefore some information has been redacted. The main sensitivities are around groundwaters, potable water supplies, third party data and investigation samples. The GIS layer shows the site locations, the years in which they have been sampled and the WFD Management Catchment in which they are located. This can be used to help identify the files containing the data you require from the link below. Link to download water quality data Data Currency NRW holds data going back to 1962 but the open data product contains data from 2000 onwards. No samples will be included after the date the data quality review was last undertaken which at the time of writing was March 2021. A process is in development to enable more up to date results to be made available. To find out when the individual files were last updated, see the index files within the download folders. General: Data may be subject to change after publication with the archive being updated each month to include corrections. This may include flagging previously unflagged results as deviating or removing results that have been identified as invalid. Deviating Samples: Natural Resources Wales Analytical Services (NRWAS) is required to have policies and procedures in place under the ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation standard to ensure that the integrity of reported results is maintained. Any sample that does not meet the set criteria when received or following analysis is described as deviating. We have highlighted the data readings that don’t meet these requirements in the “deviating_result” attribute. Deviating results may be affected by bias and/or imprecision of unknown magnitude. Hence caution should be exercised when interpreting these results and it is recommended that they are not used in statistical analysis.

Output areas (OAs) are the lowest level of geography produced across all census topics. OAs contain approximately equal numbers of usual residents, and are intended to provide geographies that allow reporting of statistics across time on a consistent geographical base.
Super Output Areas were designed to improve the reporting of small area statistics and are built up from groups of output areas (OA). Statistics for lower layer super output areas (LSOA) and middle layer super output areas (MSOA) were originally released in 2004 for England and Wales. A Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOA) is a geographic area. Lower Layer Super Output Areas are a geographic hierarchy designed to improve the reporting of small area statistics in England and Wales.
The Peatlands of Wales map series provides an updated distribution of Welsh Peatlands (to 2022) based on current evidence sources. The data layers were created on a 50m grid whereby the presence and thickness of peat are elucidated from a range of sources for each 50m grid cell across Wales. A peatland evidence score defines the level of confidence in the presence of peat in any given grid cell, with those cells scoring more than 2 on this scale of 1-10, captured in the ‘Peatlands of Wales’ peat distribution map. This dataset provides the distribution of peat across Wales, with peat defined as having a thickness of more than 40cm of organic material within the upper 80cm of a soil profile. It is an outline of all the 50m sites that have a peatland evidence score of 2 or greater (as provided in the ‘Peatlands of Wales evidence’ map layer). Full details of the sources of data used to build this map as well as the methodologies used to define the level of evidence for the presence of peat and derivation of the peat evidence score as well as estimates of peat thickness (depth), carbon stock estimates and greenhouse gas emissions are presented in the Peatlands of Wales mapping methodology report

A peatland evidence score defines the level of confidence in the presence of peat in any given grid cell, with those cells scoring more than 2 on this scale of 1-10, captured in the ‘Peatlands of Wales’ peat distribution map. This dataset shows the carbon stock levels across the Peatlands of Wales area. All deep peats are assigned to one of 6 peat soil series. Carbon stocks are calculated from standardised profiles from the Cranfield University HORIZON datasets. The mean carbon stock levels (tonnes) within each cell was then calculated from the carbon stock to 150cm in kg/m2 from the standard profile data adjusted by the thickness of peat in the profile and then multiplied by the area in m2. This map shows the carbon stock per unit area plus the total carbon stock in each polygon. Full details of the sources of data used to build this map as well as the methodologies used to define the level of evidence for the presence of peat and derivation of the peat evidence score as well as estimates of peat thickness (depth), carbon stock estimates and greenhouse gas emissions are presented in the Peatlands of Wales mapping methodology report.

Responsibilities for energy licensing, consenting and permitting in the Plan area is divided between the UK and Welsh Governments and the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA). The Wales Act 2017 devolves oil and gas licensing to the Welsh Government for onshore areas and internal waters (intertidal areas, estuaries and coastal inlet areas which fall within the Welsh onshore licence area as defined by http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2014/1686/made). Beyond these limits the relevant licensing authority is the OGA.

1.1 Background ‘Wrecks’ are designated under the 1973 Protection of Wrecks Act. There are numerous maritime wrecks in the seas around Wales. Although all of them have historic value, six currently have legal protection. These six are known as ‘designated wrecks’ or ‘protected wrecks’. ‘Wreck’ is the term used to describe something that has been lost at sea and can include something that fell overboard, something that was thrown overboard to lighten the ship, or the vessel itself. 1.2 Frequency of Update Although the process to designate wrecks is ongoing, the current dataset has remained static for a number of years, however to avoid re-using old data, users should periodically obtain the latest version from Lle. 1.3 Depictions A chart displaying the location of a Protected Wreck does not form part of the official record. The GIS depictions were drawn from the positional information given in the Statutory Instrument under which this site was designated. 1.4 Use of Data There are no use restrictions on this data. Recipients may re-use, reproduce, disseminate this data free of charge in any format or medium, provided they do so accurately, acknowledging both the source and copyright as specified (see below),, and do not use it in a misleading context.
