This is a polygon dataset of the waste water treatment plants catchment areas in agglomerations (towns/cities) with a population equivalent of over 500.

Urban waste-water is the liquid wastes deriving from domestic, commercial and industrial activities of an urban settlement. (Source RRDA). The boundaries are up-to-date based on the maps provided in the EPA's Waste Water Discharge Applications as of 05/05/2017.

All discharges to the aquatic environment from sewerage systems owned, managed and operated by water service authorities will require a waste water discharge licence or certificate of authorisation from the EPA. This dataset shows the extent of the agglomeration boundaries submitted by the licensee via their Waste Water Discharge Applications (WWDA) to the EPA.

The EPA and Teagasc ISIS Report is available on the EPA website to download from here.

The overall objective of the ISIS project was to conduct a programme of structured research into the national distribution of soil types and construct a soil map, at 1:250,000 scale, which would identify and describe the soils according to a consistent national legend. This map is now available in digital format and forms the basis of a new soil information system for Ireland: http://soils.teagasc.ie.

The Irish Spatial Data Exchange is a Discovery Service guided by the INSPIRE Directive. A discovery service makes it possible to search for spatial datasets, services and applications on the basis of the content of the corresponding metadata (ie. description) and to display the content of the metadata. The INSPIRE Directive aims to establish an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community, to allow public access to environmental information and re-use of public sector information.
