Water quality sample results for (a) identified bathing waters (beaches and lakes) under the Bathing Water Quality Directive 2006/7/EC which is implemented in Ireland through the Bathing Water Quality Regulations 2008, and (b) other monitored waters not managed under the Regulations (non-identified bathing waters).
This table 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.
National surveys of Irish rivers have taken place on a continuous basis since 1971, when 2,900 km of river channel was surveyed. The National Rivers Monitoring Programme was replaced by the Water Framework Monitoring Programme from 22 December 2006. As part of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) Monitoring Programme approximately …
The phytoplankton sample sites and phytoplankton counts coincide with finfish aquaculture sites and monitoring results include the following parameters; Sample Code, Location Code, Location Name, Location XY, Phytoplankton Species, Phytoplankton Count, Phytoplankton Biomass and Report Name. Phytoplankton samples are taken from 79 inshore stations close to the Irish coastline between …
This table contains all the River Waterbody Status results recorded in accordance with European Communities (Water Policy) Regulations 2003 (SI No. 722/2003). The regulation objectives include the attainment of good status in wateres that are of lesser status at present and retaining good status or better where such status exists …
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. …
This dataset shows water quality monitoring and assessments carried out on Irish Lake Waters for the Reporting period 2007-2009
Water Framework Directive (WFD) River Waterbodies (RWB) are the management and reporting units for the WFD. The RWB polygons are associated watershed areas delineated using ArcHydro and the EPA 20m hydrologically corrected DTM. Each RWB polygon is attributed with a unique identifier (EU_CD) which is common to the RWB lines. …

This layer represents the risk for each waterbody of failing to meet their Water Framework Directive (WFD) objectives by 2027. The risk of not meeting WFD objectives was determined by assessment of monitoring data, data on the pressures and data on the measures that have been implemented. Waterbodies that are …
