This dataset identifies groundwater bodies defined under the EU Water Framework Directive that intersect with Conservation Objective habitats within Special Protection Areas (SPAs) designated under the EU Birds Directive (79/409/EEC) and Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC). It links water body boundaries to protected habitat areas relevant to bird conservation objectives, supporting spatial analysis of overlap between water management units and designated nature conservation sites in Ireland. The register forms part of Ireland's national spatial data on protected areas maintained under EU environmental legislation.WFD Ground Water Bodies intersecting with Designated Special Protection Areas Conservation Objective Habitats under the EU Habitats Directive (together with the Birds Directive) - Council Directive 92/43/EE of 21st May 1992 and 79/409/EEC.
