WFD Lake Waterbody Approved Risk - Cycle 2
A national dataset for Ireland identifying the Water Framework Directive (WFD) risk classification approved for each lake waterbody. Risk categories are assigned to individual lake features by catchment scientists as part of the WFD assessment process, corresponding to the second river basin management cycle. The dataset supports monitoring and management of lake water quality and ecological status under WFD reporting obligations, published via the national open data portal data.gov.ie.Dataset relating to WFD Lake Waterbody Approved Risk assigned to each feature by the Catchment scientists.
