Water Flow Network
This dataset provides a national water flow network for Ireland, represented as a route feature class rather than a simple set of polylines. The geometry is created by merging river lines from individual geometric network datasets into a single integrated layer. The network captures known flow connections through rivers, lakes and groundwater, allowing users to trace hydrological connectivity across the country. It is published via the Irish national open-data portal (data.gov.ie) and is intended for use in hydrological analysis, water management and environmental studies where understanding the connectivity of surface and subsurface water flow paths is required.This water flow network dataset is a route feature class rather than a simple polyline. The geometry is generated by merging the river lines of individual geometric network datasets. This layer contains an integrated flow network that includes known flow connections through rivers, lakes and grou...
