Phosphate Concentration - Groundwater Quality (2014)
This dataset provides average phosphate concentrations (mg/l P) recorded in 2014 at monitoring locations across the Irish Environmental Protection Agency's Water Framework Directive (WFD) Groundwater Monitoring Network. It is published by the Environmental Protection Agency and covers groundwater sampling sites throughout Ireland. The data supports assessment of groundwater quality and nutrient pollution levels as part of national compliance with the EU Water Framework Directive, allowing comparison of phosphate levels across different monitoring locations for a single reference year.Average concentrations in 2014 for Phosphate (mg/lP) in samples from monitoring locations on the Irish Environmental Protection Agency Water Framework Directive (WFD) Groundwater Monitoring Network.
