## Introduction

Within Europe, the [Water Framework
Directive](http://ec.europa.eu/environment/water/water-framework/index_en.html)
(WFD) sets EU-wide standards for how the quality of surface- and
ground-waters across Europe is assessed and classified. Assessment of
quality using the WFD is based on a range of elements that vary
depending on the type of water being assessed and are combined to give
an overall classification of waterbodies into five classes (High, Good,
Moderate, Poor and Bad) for surface waters and two classes (Good or
Poor) for groundwaters.

In the UK the Environment Agency (EA) is the competent authority
responsible for monitoring and assessment of water quality within
England. The EA have made the reporting data relating to the
requirements of the WFD available via the Catchment Data Explorer (CDE)
website, <https://environment.data.gov.uk/catchment-planning/>.

`cde` is a package for R which facilitates searching and download of the
WFD reporting data for all waterbodies from the EA CDE website. The
ability to access these data from within the R environment allows for
efficient collation and interrogation of data and reproducible analysis
of trends or patterns in water quality and pressures on waterbodies
across England.

The types of data that can be downloaded are: WFD status classification
data, Reasons for Not Achieving Good (RNAG) status, objectives set for
waterbodies, measures put in place to improve water quality and details
of associated protected areas.

The CDE data are made available under the [Open Government Licence
v3.0](https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/)
and use of the data accessed by and contained within this package
implies acceptance of these licence conditions.

Globally, issues around water quality and quantity are expected to increase in coming decades, set against a background of already widespread degradation [@WWAPUnitedNationsWorldWaterAssessmentProgramme/UN-Water2018]. Within Europe, the [Water Framework Directive](http://ec.europa.eu/environment/water/water-framework/) (WFD) set EU-wide standards for how the quality of surface waters and groundwater across Europe is assessed and classified [@Communities2000]. Assessment of quality under the WFD is based on a range of elements that vary depending on the type of water being assessed. The elements cover biological, chemical and hydromorphological/quantitative components with a hierarchical structure. These are combined to give an overall classification of waterbodies into five classes (High, Good, Moderate, Poor and Bad) for surface waters and two classes (Good or Poor) for groundwaters. The overall aim of the WFD is that all European surface waters and groundwater will reach at least Good status by 2027, although there have been a number of issues with implementation [@Voulvoulis2017].

In the UK, the Environment Agency (EA) is the competent authority responsible for monitoring and assessment of water quality within England. The EA have made all of the reporting data relating to the requirements of the WFD available via the Catchment Data Explorer (CDE) website [https://environment.data.gov.uk/catchment-planning/](https://environment.data.gov.uk/catchment-planning/). The ``cde`` package for R [@RCoreTeam2019] provides functions that facilitate the querying, download and plotting of the data available on the CDE site. The ability to access these data from within the R environment allows for efficient collation and interrogation of data and reproducible analysis of trends or patterns in water quality and pressures on waterbodies across England.
