This dataset identifies significant agricultural pressures affecting river waterbodies in Ireland that are assessed as being at risk of not meeting water quality objectives under the Water Framework Directive. While multiple pressures can affect any given waterbody, the dataset focuses on those specifically linked to agriculture that need to be addressed to improve water status. It forms part of Ireland's national water quality assessment framework, supporting identification of where agricultural activities such as diffuse nutrient or sediment runoff contribute to failure to achieve good ecological or chemical status in rivers, informing catchment management and mitigation planning.”}}
