WFD Transitional Waterbody Approved Risk - Cycle 2
This dataset provides the Water Framework Directive (WFD) risk classification assigned to transitional waterbodies for the second river basin management cycle in Ireland. Each waterbody feature is assigned a risk status by catchment scientists, indicating whether it is at risk of failing to meet WFD environmental objectives. The dataset is published via data.gov.ie and supports water quality assessment and catchment management planning at a national level, forming part of Ireland's broader reporting under the EU Water Framework Directive for transitional (estuarine) water bodies.Dataset relating to WFD Transitional Waterbody Approved Risk assigned to each feature by the Catchment scientists.
