In addition to the definitions set out in Article 2, the following definitions shall apply:

— ‘aquifer’ means a subsurface layer or layers of rock or other geological strata of sufficient porosity and permeability to allow either a significant flow of groundwater or the abstraction of significant quantities of groundwater,

— ‘groundwater’ means all water which is below the surface of the ground in the saturation zone and in direct contact with the ground or subsoil,

— ‘sub-basin’ means an area of land from which all surface run-off flows through a series of streams, rivers and, possibly, lakes to a particular point in a water course,

The types specified for the spatial data theme Hydrography are structured in the following packages:

— Hydro - base

— Hydro - Network

— Hydro - Physical Waters

The following spatial object types shall be used for the exchange and classification of spatial objects related to Hydro - base:

— Hydro Object

An identity base for hydrographic (including man-made) objects in the real world.

This type is abstract.

Attribute	Definition	Type	Voidability
geographicalName	A geographical name that is used to identify a hydrographic object in the real world. It provides a ‘key’ for implicitly associating different representations of the object.	GeographicalName	voidable
hydroId	An identifier that is used to identify a hydrographic object in the real world. It provides a ‘key’ for implicitly associating different representations of the object.	HydroIdentifier	voidable
Association role	Definition	Type	Voidability
---	---	---	---
relatedHydroObject	A related hydrographic object representing the same real-world entity.	HydroObject	voidable

A hydrographic thematic identifier.

Attribute	Definition	Type	Voidability
classificationScheme	A description of the identification scheme (National, European, etc.) being used.	CharacterString
localId	A local identifier, assigned by some authority.	CharacterString
Namespace	An indicator of the scope for the local identifier.	CharacterString

The following spatial object types shall be used for the exchange and classification of spatial objects related to Hydro - Network:

— Hydro Node

— Watercourse Link

— Watercourse Link Sequence

— Watercourse Separated Crossing

A node within the hydrographic network.

This type is a sub-type of Node.

This type is a sub-type of HydroObject.
