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.
Abstract: This data shows Arterial Drainage Scheme (ADS) Channels constructed under the Arterial Drainage Acts 1945 & 1995, that OPW has a statutory obligation to maintain. These channels are either modified watercourses or constructed channels/drains to enhance the conveyance or constructed to modify the flow regime in an area. The …
This water flow network dataset is a route feature class rather than a simple polyline. The geometry is generated by merging the river lines of individual geometric network datasets. This layer contains an integrated flow network that includes known flow connections through rivers, lakes and groundwater aquifers. In places where …
This dataset contains hydrometric time series data of water level and river flow in >300 Irish rivers, lakes, springs and groundwater monitoring sites. The sites are owned by Local Authorities and operated by the EPA. The data set also contains the national hydrometric register, containing all known hydrometric stations in …
A Register of Hydrometric Stations in Ireland.
This dataset shows the direction of river flow realted to the EPA/OSi river network dataset.
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. …
