MINES - Chemical Water Analyses (Winter)
Dataset identifying the locations of water sampling sites used for winter chemical water analyses under the Historic Mines Project, published by Ireland's Environmental Protection Agency. It forms part of a national programme monitoring water quality at former mine sites, recording where samples are taken to assess chemical conditions during the winter season. The dataset supports environmental monitoring and assessment of legacy mining impacts on water bodies across Ireland.Location of water sampling sites for the Historic Mines Project
