This API provides a Web Feature Service (WFS) exposing the locations of watercourses monitored under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) in Malta. It is published by the Planning Authority Malta and covers the national territory. The service allows access to geospatial data on watercourse monitoring points, supporting integration into GIS applications and spatial analysis tools for water resource management and environmental monitoring purposes at the national level.Location of watercourses monitoring under the WFD
