This dataset identifies significant pressures affecting lake and transitional/coastal (TRaC) waterbodies in Ireland that are at risk of failing to meet water quality objectives under the EU Water Framework Directive. Although each waterbody may be subject to multiple pressures, only those pressures deemed significant—meaning they must be addressed to achieve or maintain good water status—are recorded here, with a specific focus on historically polluted sites. Published via Ireland's open data portal, the dataset supports water quality assessment and management planning by highlighting the main sources of degradation affecting lake and TRaC waterbodies nationally.Significant pressures have been identified for waterbodies that are At Risk of not meeting their water quality objectives under the Water Framework Directive. While there are a multitude of pressures in every waterbody, the significant pressures are those pressures which need to be addressed in o...
