WFD Ground Waterbody Approved Risk - Cycle 2
This dataset provides the Water Framework Directive (WFD) risk classification approved for each groundwater body feature during the second river basin management cycle. Risk assessments are assigned to each feature by catchment scientists, indicating the likelihood that a groundwater body will fail to meet WFD environmental objectives. The dataset is published by Ireland's Environmental Protection Agency and covers groundwater bodies at national scale, supporting catchment-level water quality management and reporting under the Water Framework Directive.Dataset relating to WFD Ground Waterbody Approved Risk assigned to each feature by the Catchment scientists.
