Groundwater Protection Scheme Reports
This API provides access to Groundwater Protection Scheme reports for Ireland, organised by county. Each report links to land surface zone maps and groundwater protection response guidance for potentially polluting activities such as landfill sites, land spreading, and septic tanks. The scheme is developed under the role of the Geological Survey Ireland (GSI) and supports assessment of groundwater vulnerability at a national level. It is published by the Irish Government and offers free, unauthenticated access to county-based reports relevant to land use planning and pollution risk management near groundwater sources.The Scheme Reports Groundwater Protection map provides links to county based reports. A groundwater protection scheme has land surface zone map(s) and groundwater protection responses for potentially polluting activities e.g., landfill, land spreading and septic tanks. The role of the GSI is…
