Max Faecal Coliform Concentration in Irish Waters (2007 - 2009)
This dataset provides maximum recorded concentrations of Faecal Coliform bacteria (per 100ml) measured between 2007 and 2009 at monitoring locations forming part of the Irish Environmental Protection Agency's Water Framework Directive (WFD) Groundwater Monitoring Network. It is published by the Environmental Protection Agency and covers national groundwater quality monitoring sites across Ireland. The data supports assessment of groundwater contamination levels and compliance with water quality standards under the Water Framework Directive during the specified monitoring period.Max concentrations in 2007 - 2009 for Faecal Coliform (per 100ml) in samples from monitoring locations on the Irish Environmental Protection Agency Water Framework Directive (WFD) Groundwater Monitoring Network.
