WFD River Water Bodies - Cycle 3 |
| Description |
Official national geospatial vector datasets mapping Ireland's active river management units and their associated upstream catchment sub-basins under the 3rd WFD River Basin Management Plan (2022–2027). Maintained by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), WFD_RiverWaterbodiesActive_Cycle3.shp represents linear river channels actively monitored for Cycle 3 status assessments (2016–2021 baseline data), while WFD_RiverSubBasins_Cycle3.shp defines the 2D surface watershed areas for each active waterbody segment. Both layers share the standardized EU_CD primary key to join physical features, risk classifications, and pressure indicators. |
