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 …
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 …
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 lake catchment layer of unnested WFD lake catchments was delineated in 2022. For every WFD lake water body, an un-nested lake catchment was delineated from the outflow …
This table contains the Water Framework Directive (WFD) Canal Waterbody Ecological Potential results for 2016-2021. The data used were primarily from 2019 to 2021. 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 …
Pollution Impact Potential (PIP) maps were generated separately for nitrate and phosphate to rank critical source areas (CSAs) relative to one another from diffuse agriculture for both the groundwater and surface water receptor. The PIP maps are generated by the EPA Catchment Characterisation Tool (CCT). The CCT delineates the CSAs …

These Catchment Projects are areas where there are already projects ongoing at catchment scale, or where funding or plans are in place, which will have benefits for water quality protection/restoration during WFD Cycle 3. They include community initiatives (like Rivers Trusts), LIFE, EIP, INTERREG and public body research projects.
Water Framework Directive (WFD) Canal Waterbodies are the management and reporting units for the WFD. This is a polyline shapefile dataset which is formed from a Waterways Ireland Canal Polygon dataset and river network dataset. These canal waterbodies are also included in the overall River Waterbodies (RWB) WFD dataset. Each …
