				<dd3:Methodology><![CDATA[Many EEA Member Countries have previously submitted geographical data sets to contribute to the creation of a digital European groundwater body map.

It is assumed that your groundwater geographical data sets can be used by the ETC/WTR for work under contract to the EEA and that the geographical data sets can be compiled with other groundwater boundaries and be published on the Waterbase web site. Please declare any restrictions or reservations regarding the publication of your geographical data sets on delivery.

Data providers are asked to check and validate the published data, and include any amendments or missing information in the next delivery of data.

Digital groundwater body geographical data sets have to be provided as polygons in ETRS89 (European Terrestrial Reference System 89) coordinate system in shapefile (preferably) or .e00 vector data formats.

The groundwater body code (EWN-Code or GWB-Code-WFD) should be unique in the attribute table and no duplicate records should exist. The groundwater body code should relate to the codes used in the GW-Body_Characterisation table.

We would like to encourage all countries to provide digital geographical data sets on groundwater bodies and their accompanying attribute data.

ONLY ONE OF THE FIELDS EWN-Code OR GWB-Code-WFD CAN BE FILLED FOR EACH RECORD OF THIS TABLE. ONLY IF THE DELINEATION OF CERTAIN GROUNDWATER BODY IS FULLY IDENTICAL ACCORDING TO THE EIONET AND SIMULATEOUSLY ACCORDING TO THE WATER FRAMEWORK DIRECTIVE, ARTICLE 5, BOTH OF THESE FIELDS SHOULD BE FILLED IN A SUCH RECORD. 

Filling of GWB-Code-WFD field is mandatory for EU member countries.]]></dd3:Methodology>
