Assessment Purpose

This assessment has been produced as part of the national characterisation programme undertaken for the Water Framework Directive river basin management planning. It has been led by the EPA, with input from Local Authorities and other public bodies.

The characterisation assessments are automatically generated from the information stored in the WFD Application. The assessments may change as information is updated in the WFD application. Users should ensure that they have the most up to date information by downloading the latest assessment before use.

2 Evaluation of PrioritySubcatchment Issues

Three out of six river water bodies are AT RISK, Carhoo_010, Tinneel Stream_010 and Ownahinchy_010 due to Moderate biological status. Hayes Cross Roads_010 and North Ring Curraghgrane_010 are under REVIEW due to their unassigned status.

Point sources are the significant pressures on Tinneel Stream_010, agriculture is the significant pressure on Ownahincy_010, and hydromorphological impacts (channel modification) appear to be driving status within Carhoo_010. Local catchment assessments are required for the REVIEW water bodies so as to determine whether any issues exist.
