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 …
The Water Framework Directive (WFD) is a key initiative aimed at improving water quality throughout the EU. It applies to rivers, lakes, groundwater, and coastal waters. The Directive requires an integrated approach to managing water quality on a river basin basis; with the aim of maintaining and improving water quality. …
This dataset represents a snapshot taken in September 2016 for the purpose of the WFD RBMP Cycle 2. These are the drinking water river lines delineated in accordance with European Communities (Drinking Water) (No. 2) Regulations 2007 (SI no. 278/2007).
Water Framework Directive (WFD) River Waterbodies (RWB) are the management and reporting units for the WFD. WFD RWB is a polyline shapefile dataset which is formed from a river routes dataset. Waterbodies are assigned types depending on their likely WFD status classification and physical and biological characteristics (typology). This is …
This dataset represents a snapshot taken in September 2016 for the purpose of the WFD RBMP Cycle 2. These are the Drinking water groundwater body polygons delineated in accordance with European Communities (Drinking Water) (No. 2) Regulations 2007 (SI no. 278/2007).
This dataset represents a snapshot taken in September 2016 for the purpose of the WFD RBMP Cycle 2. Bathing Water Area profiles referred to in Regulation 5 is to consist of a description of the physical, geographical and hydrological characteristics of the bathing water, as provided for in Directive 2006/7/EC …
This dataset represents a snapshot taken in September 2016 for the purpose of the WFD RBMP Cycle 2. These are the Drinking water surface water body polygons delineated in accordance with European Communities (Drinking Water) (No. 2) Regulations 2007 (SI no. 278/2007).
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).
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. …
