This dataset forms part of Ireland's Register of Protected Areas and identifies nutrient sensitive catchments, meaning catchments containing nutrient sensitive points, rivers, or waterbodies. Unlike other protected areas, these catchments are not formally designated under the Urban Waste Water Treatment (UWWT) Directive 91/271/EEC or its transposing Irish statutory instruments (S.I. 254/2001, S.I. 440/2004, and related regulations), but are identified for their sensitivity to nutrient inputs. The register supports water quality management and protection efforts across Ireland by mapping areas where nutrient loading poses a particular environmental risk to aquatic ecosystems.These nutrient sensitive catchments are those catchments where Nutrient Sensitive Points, Rivers or Waterbodies exist. They are not designated in accordance with the Urban Waste Water Treatment (UWWT) Directive 91/271/EEC on Urban Waste Water Treatment and S.I. 254 / 2001, S.I. 440/2004 and S.I....
