# 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> |
