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 table contains the Water Framework Directive (WFD) Canal Waterbody Ecological Potential results for 2019-2024. The data used were primarily from 2019 to 2024. The WFD objectives include the attainment of good ecological potential in waterbodies that are of lesser status at present and retaining good ecological potential or better …
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 waterbodies that are of lesser status at present and retaining good status or better where such status exists
This dataset contains all the Coastal 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 waterbodies that are of lesser status at present and retaining good status or better where such status exists
This dataset contains the status results for lake waterbodies (LWB) and status assigned to unmonitored WFD LWBs 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
This dataset contains all the Transitional 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 waterbodies that are of lesser status at present and retaining good status or better where such status exists
Where agricultural measures are needed to restore water quality, the Subbasin are highlighted with one or more coloured flags to indicate the types of water quality issues associated with that Subbasin: Red (potential point source), Orange (nitrate losses) and/or Navy (phosphorus/sediment losses).
This shapefile contains the river waterbody typologies in Ireland and are specific to the assessment of water abstractions. The criteria for categorising river type are based on UK research that examined the impact of abstractions on river and lake ecology and have been adapted for use in Ireland.
Data set provided by Waterways Ireland which shows navigable waterways as defined in the Water Environment Act 2022.
The EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) (WFD) establishes a framework for the protection, improvement and management of surface waters and groundwaters. A new WFD lake catchment layer was created in 2022. New lake catchments were delineated for every WFD lake from the outflow up to very farthest source, i.e. the …
