get_measures: Retrieve Measures Specified for Waterbodies

Description

Retrieves details of the measures put in place or proposed for specified waterbodies to try and achieve the status objectives set for 2021 from the EA Catchment Data Explorer site. Data can be retrieved by specifying Management Catchment (MC), Operational Catchment (OC) or River Basin District (RBD). Note that Measures data are patchy as only measures explicitly linked to a target change in status are included. Therefore in many cases the function will return an empty dataframe with a message.

Usage

Arguments

For example to extract data for the whole of the Humber RBD, this would be "Humber"; also see examples. Must be anexact match to the values used in the EA database. Use the search_names function to search for specific values.

column

The column to be searched. Possible options are WBID (waterbody id), OC (Operational Catchment), MC (Management Catchment) and RBD (River Basin District).
