WFD River Sub-Basins |
| Description |
National geospatial vector dataset mapping the 2D surface sub-basin catchment areas for river water bodies across the Republic of Ireland under the EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC). Maintained by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), each polygon represents the immediate hydrological catchment area generated from a defining monitoring station. Every sub-basin polygon is attributed with a unique identifier (EU_CD) that links directly to the corresponding linear river waterbody (WFD_RiverWaterbodies.shp) to join physical characteristics, status classification, risk, and pressures. |
