Register of Protected Areas - Nutrient Sensitive Areas Surface Waterbodies (WFD RBMP Cycle 2)EnvironmentThis dataset represents a snapshot taken in September 2016 for the purpose of the WFD RBMP Cycle 2. WFD Surface Waterbodies intersecting with designated Nutrient Sensitive Areas waterbodies in accordance with the Urban Waste Water Treatment (UWWT) Directive 91/271/EEC on Urban...

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 water flow routes dataset. Waterbodies are assigned types depending on their likely WFD status...
-
EnvironmentThe 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...

EnvironmentThis 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...
-
This data set contains estimates of naturalised river flow duration percentiles for Irish rivers. The flow estimates represent flows that could be expected in rivers under naturalised conditions and do not take account of artificial influences of any kind such as water supply...

This is the results of the noise mapping (round 3) of Dublin and Cork Airport carried out for the EPA under EU Directive 2002/49/EC. The directive is implemented in Ireland by the Environmental Noise Regulations 2006 (SI 140/2006).
-
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.

These are the results of the noise mapping (round 3) of the Dublin and Cork Agglomerations carried out for the EPA under EU Directive 2002/49/EC. The directive is implemented in Ireland by the Environmental Noise Regulations 2006 (SI 140/2006).
-
This is a dataset of the air quality zones listed on http://www.epa.ie/air/quality/zones/. The zones were defined initially in the Air Quality Regulations (SI 180 of 2011). The EPA reviews the zones regularly and amends when necessary.

This is the results of the noise mapping (round 3) of the major railways carried for the EPA under EU Directive 2002/49/EC. The directive is implemented in Ireland by the Environmental Noise Regulations 2006 (SI 140/2006).
-
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
