Monitoring - Hydrometric Gauges
A register of hydrometric monitoring stations across Ireland, maintained by the Environmental Protection Agency. The dataset identifies gauge locations used to measure water levels and flow in rivers and other water bodies, supporting hydrological monitoring at national scale. It provides a reference list of stations rather than the raw measurement time series themselves, and can be used to locate monitoring infrastructure across the country.A Register of Hydrometric Stations in Ireland.
