# waterlinkflowdirectionvalue

This code list is used in association with the Flow Direction attribute which is present within the Water Link Feature Type*.* The code list describes the direction of water flow in the segment relative to digitisation of segment geometry.

| In Direction | The watercourse has a definite flow. This is applied to all features with directed flow. This flow is always assumed in direction of digitising.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| Unknown      | <p>The flow direction has not been determined for one of the following reasons:</p><ul><li>The flow direction has not been collected or cannot be ascertained by the capture method selected.</li><li>The watercourse should normally have a flow but the direction cannot be measured.</li><li>The watercourse may have a flow but OS is not currently recording the direction.</li></ul> |

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.os.uk/osngd/code-lists/code-lists-overview/waterlinkflowdirectionvalue.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
