River Typologies (Abstraction Assessments)
This shapefile contains the river waterbody typologies in Ireland and are specific to the assessment of water abstractions. The criteria for categorising river type are based on UK research that examined the impact of abstractions on river and lake ecology and have been adapted for use in Ireland.
