The locations, average abstraction rate, maximum abstraction rate, minimum required flow (or hands off flow, or similar), and licence number of both river and groundwater abstractions
Dear Welsh Water,
Could you please provide the locations, average abstraction rate, maximum abstraction rate, minimum required flow (or hands off flow, or similar), and licence number of both river and groundwater abstractions owned or operated by your company that are greater than 1Ml/d as an attachment in response to this request? I understand that exact locations may be considered as sensitive information, if this is the case, please instead associate abstractions with the Water Framework Directive water body (river for river abstractions, catchment for groundwater abstractions) - see column 'wb_code': https://data.gov.uk/dataset/298258ee-c4a... (catchments), https://data.gov.uk/dataset/c5a3e877-12c... (rivers). Could you please provide these data in a tabulated format with columns for coordinates, each requested data, and any necessary notes.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Wangdong Zong
