This report provides a summary of the latest EPA assessment of the pressures and impacts on our waters using data up to 2021. The outcomes are compared with the assessments for 2015 and 2018 to provide an indication of direction and pace of change in response to measures.
The pressures have been identified using over 140 datasets, including water quality monitoring data, data on landuse and human activities in catchments, and models and tools to assess the relative importance and impacts of the pressures.
A spreadsheet is also available to download which has information on WFD Status, impacts, pressures, and other information for all 4842 waterbodies in Ireland. This spreadsheet also includes links to each individual waterbody page on www.catchments.ie and a link to view each waterbody on the EPA Water Map.
Catchment Assessments for all 46 of Ireland's catchments can be downloaded at www.catchments.ie/data/
