Nitrogen Concentration in Irish Waters (2007 - 2009)
This dataset presents average nitrogen concentrations (measured in mg/l NO3) recorded between 2007 and 2009 at monitoring locations across Ireland. The data derive from the Irish Environmental Protection Agency's Water Framework Directive (WFD) Groundwater Monitoring Network, which tracks groundwater quality nationally. It provides a snapshot of nitrogen levels in groundwater during this period, relevant to assessing water quality and pollution pressures under the WFD monitoring framework.Average concentrations in 2007 - 2009 for Nitrogen (mg/l N03) in samples from monitoring locations on the Irish Environmental Protection Agency Water Framework Directive (WFD) Groundwater Monitoring Network.
