Motivation edit
It's one of a couple of UK hydrological databases maintained by or for the joint Environment Agencies of Great Britain (the other being UK Lakes Portal (Q73433162)), and can be considered an impeccable source for characteristics of UK lakes such as location, surface area, elevation, capacity, &c. Ideally we'll code all GB lakes & still waters with this ID, for the ususal good reasons. Tagishsimon (talk) 22:52, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
