Water Framework Directive Groundwater Waterbodies
This dataset provides polygon geometries representing groundwater waterbodies (GWB) in Ireland, defined under the EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC), which establishes a framework for the protection, improvement, and management of surface water and groundwater.
