A Register of Hydrometric Stations in Ireland.
-
This dataset contains hydrometric time series data of water level and river flow in >300 Irish rivers, lakes, springs and groundwater monitoring sites. The sites are owned by Local Authorities and operated by the EPA. The data set also contains the national hydrometric register, containing all known hydrometric stations in Ireland.

Significant pressures have been identified for waterbodies that are At Risk of not meeting their water quality objectives under the Water Framework Directive. While there are a multitude of pressures in every waterbody, the significant pressures are those pressures which need to be addressed in order to improve water quality. Many of our waterbodies have multiple significant pressures. A robust scientific assessment process has been carried out to determine which pressures are the significant pressures. This has incorporated over 140 datasets, a suite of modelling tools, and local knowledge from field and enforcement staff from the Local Authorities, Inland Fisheries Ireland and EPA. Impacts from forestry include acidification as well as alteration to flow regimes. Forestry pressures are subcategorised into forestry, drainage, clear felling, planting and establishment stage.
