This dataset defines Water Framework Directive (WFD) Canal Waterbodies, the management and reporting units used for WFD assessment and monitoring in Ireland. It is a polyline shapefile derived by combining a Waterways Ireland canal polygon dataset with a river network dataset, delineating canal segments as discrete waterbodies. These canal waterbodies are incorporated into the overall River Waterbodies dataset used for national water quality reporting. The dataset supports environmental monitoring, water management planning, and regulatory reporting obligations under the EU Water Framework Directive, and is published as part of Ireland's open data catalogue on data.gov.ie, related to national inland waterways and water resource management.”
