<idPurp>Used to provide a detailed and accurate record of all types of inland watercourse. This dataset contains the watercourse nodes.</idPurp>
<idAbs>The OS NGD Water Features Collection contains both a Water Feature Type and Water Point Feature Type. Within the Water Feature Type, inland water is represented as polygons, whereas in Water Point Feature Type, inland water is represented as points. This data is often used for environmental monitoring and risk assessment, navigation, statistical analysis.</idAbs>

<dataLineage>
<statement>The OS NGD Water Network Collection provides a three-dimensional structured link and node network of watercourses for Great Britain. Rivers, streams, lakes, lochs, drains and canals are represented as a series of network lines. There are three feature types in the collection: Water Link, Water Node, and Water Link Set. Narrow water features which are depicted by a line geometry rather than a polygon geometry are not included in the OS NGD Water Features Collection; however, they can be obtained from the OS NGD Water Network Collection.
Water link sets are only created where there are a number of water links that share the same name. Within the Water Link Feature Type, there are numerous water links which are unnamed; these unnamed water links therefore will not appear in the Water Link Set Feature Type as they cannot be joined accurately.</statement>
