Spatial inventory of UK waterbodies
The dataset is the lake polygons from the UK Lakes Portal ( https://eip.ceh.ac.uk/apps/lakes/), originally based on OS PANORAMA but this dataset includes data from a number of sources. It has a basic set of attributes including the water body ID (WBID) as well as the computed area and perimeter of each lake. The WBID is commonly used across research institutions and is the same ID as used on the UK Lakes Portal, where more information can be found on each lake in this dataset. This is v3.6, which follows the same versioning as the underlying database. Although the database has seen the majority of the changes since version 1, the polygons have also been changed and improved over that time, mostly fixing issues with lake outlines, but also some new sites being added. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/b6b92ce3-dcd7-4f0b-8e43-e937ddf1d4eb

The development of the database was jointly funded by the Environment Agency, Natural England, Countryside Council for Wales (now Natural Resources Wales), and the Scotland and Northern Ireland Forum for Environmental Research (SNIFFER). Lake polygon geometry in Northern Ireland is based upon Crown Copyright and is reproduced with the permission of Land & Property Services under delegated authority from the Controller of Her Majesty’s Stationery Office, Crown copyright and database rights, EMOU206.2. Northern Ireland Environment Agency Copyright 2015. Lake polygon geometry in Great Britain is mostly based on Ordnance Survey data and contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. This is version 3.6 of the dataset, with the versioning being aligned with the ongoing development of the underlying UK lakes database: https://eip.ceh.ac.uk/apps/lakes/. This is the first published version in a datacentre, with all changes to polygon outlines from version 1 being represented here .
