Urban Waste Water Agglomerations Impacting on Freshwater Pearl Mussel
This dataset identifies urban areas (agglomerations) in Ireland where improvements to urban waste water discharges are required to protect freshwater pearl mussel populations and their habitats. It is published in connection with Ireland's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which reports further detail on these agglomerations in its Annual Urban Waste Water Report, available on the EPA website. The dataset supports monitoring of wastewater impacts on protected freshwater species at a national level.This shows all urban areas where improvements to waste water discharges are required to protect freshwater pearl mussel. Further information about urban areas impacting on freshwater pearl mussel waters can be found in the EPA’s Annual Urban Waste Water Report on the EPA website - www.epa.ie.
