Celebrating the new Bathing Water Season in Wales with the Natural Resources Wales Bathing Waters service that we highlighted in a recent post in our #GovTech data services series
Natural Resource Wales (NRW) and the Environment Agency (EA) have a key roles ensure that bathing waters have good water quality in Wales and England respectively. Bathing Waters are designated beaches (or inland swimming spots) assessed by the EA and NRW in line with the relevant legislation and regulations. Water samples are taken at designated points weekly, during the bathing water season. In order to make the results of the Bathing Water Quality sampling available to the many individuals and organisations who make use of it, starting in 2010, we worked with EA and later NRW to design and build these services. We currently also run the service for NRW.
Associated with the Natural Resources Wales Bathing Waters service is a rich Open Data
bilingual API
The Natural Resources Wales Bathing Water Quality Data service was developed with the specific needs of Wales and dual language capabilities built in. The NRW service and the data API all are able to respond to language requests supporting both NRW’s and other Wales user needs. We worked with NRW to design, build and run this service.
Next in our series on #GovTech data services, we highlight our work with
Natural Resorces Wales on their Bathing Waters service.
Our Data Design & Linked Data expertise helped create a bilingual resource for citizens, scientists, & Local Government
