These points are locations for ‘Stories’ on Catchments.ie - Catchments.ie is trying to make complicated science and policy relevant to the general public, and using “Stories” specific to local locations is one way this is being done.
This is the results of the noise mapping (round 1) of Dublin Airport carried out for the EPA under EU Directive 2002/49/EC. The directive is implemented in Ireland by the Environmental Noise Regulations 2006 (SI 140/2006).
Significant pressures have been identified for waterbodies that are At Risk of not meeting their water quality objectives under the Water Framework Directive. While there are a multitude of pressures in every waterbody, the significant pressures are those pressures which need to be addressed in order to improve water quality. …
The indicative soils map classifies the soils of Ireland on a categorically simplified but cartographically detailed basis into 25 classes, using an expert rule based methodology. Produced by Teagasc (Kinsealy), EPA and GSI.
This the results of the noise mapping (round 1) of the Dublin Agglomeration carried out for the EPA under EU Directive 2002/49/EC. The directive is implemented in Ireland by the Environmental Noise Regulations 2006 (SI 140/2006).
This dataset shows river streams in Ireland. This dataset contains just Order 0 and 1 rivers. Stream order is a measure of the relative size of streams. The smallest tributaries are referred to as first-order streams.
The EPA carries out a programme of round-the-clock measurements from our permanent monitoring network and a programme of sampling followed by laboratory testing. We take and test around 2000 samples every year. Most samples are taken from fixed locations throughout Ireland. Fish and shellfish are collected from the main fishing …
This dataset shows the overall risk status result for ground waterbodies (2008). The risk status was calculated as part of the Article 5 characterisation and risk assessment report carried out on all waterbodies. It identified those at risk of failing the objectives of the Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC (Water Policy …
This dataset contains status results based on the assessment of groundwater chemical and quantitative figures in Ireland. This is drawn from representative monitoring points selected specifically for the Water Framework Directive (WFD) groundwater monitoring programme.
This dataset shows water quality monitoring and assessments carried out on Irish Coastal Waters for the Reporting period 2010-2012.
