These are the lake waterbody polygons delineated in accordance with Guidance Document No. 9: Implementing the Geographical Information System Elements (GIS) of the Water Framework Directive (2003) and Guidance Document No. 22: Updated Guidance on Implementing the Geographical Information System (GIS) Elements of the EU Water policy (November 2008).
Dataset relating to WFD River Waterbody Approved Risk assigned to each feature by the Catchment scientists.
Dataset relating to WFD Ground Waterbody Approved Risk assigned to each feature by the Catchment scientists.
The EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) (WFD) establishes a framework for the protection, improvement and management of surface water and groundwater. All Groundwater Waterbodies (GWB) are represented as polygons. They are validated by scientists in the Geological Survey of Ireland and the EPA Scientists as meeting the criteria for a …
Dataset relating to WFD Lake Waterbody Approved Risk assigned to each feature by the Catchment scientists.
Dataset relating to WFD Transitional Waterbody Approved Risk assigned to each feature by the Catchment scientists.
EU Water Framework Directive Transitional Waterbodies boundaries for Ireland. Transitional waters connect fresh waters such as rivers and marine waters, for example estuaries. The goal of The Water Framework Directive is to achieve a good status for all of Europe's surface waters and groundwater by 2015.
This dataset relates to WFD Coastal Waterbody Approved Risk assigned to each feature by the Catchment scientists.
Water monitoring stations used by the EPA and Local Authorities are registered on EDEN Monitoring Data System by an application called the Feature Coding Tool (FCT). This tool applies a unique code to river, lake, transitional, coastal or groundwater stations registered on it.
This dataset contains the status results for lake waterbodies (LWB) monitored as part of the EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) with the objectives to achieve or maintain at least good ecological status and good chemical status
