- About this layer:In Northern Ireland water abstraction and impoundment is controlled by The Water Abstraction and Impoundment (Licensing) Regulations (Northern Ireland 2006, as amended by The Water Abstraction and Impoundment (Licensing) (Amendment) Regulations. (Northern Ireland) 2007. The regulations apply to all groundwater and surface water abstractions that abstract more than 10m3 per day. Abstractions less than this are Permitted Controlled Activities and are automatically authorised by NIEA.

- Water Framework Directive (WFD) legislation requires the definition of both surface and groundwaters as a coherent set of hydrological units which could be monitored and managed. Certain parcels of land situated between river water bodies and transitional or coastal water bodies did not warrant classification as a river water body. Such parcels of land are defined as coastal interbasins and have not formed part of the 1st or 2nd cycle classification process. The European Water Framework Directive was transposed to national legislation through the Water Environment (Water Framework Directive) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2017. The Water (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ensures that the Water Framework Directive (WFD) (as transposed) and the various supporting pieces of water legislation remain implemented in Northern Ireland as National legislation.1Licence not specifiedover 2 years ago

- The agricultural risk map is based on activity classed as arable horticulture or improved grassland by the CEH land cover map 2007, which is carried out on land parcels scored against a matrix of risk factors and the 2015 status of WFD enrichment indicators. These risk factors have the potential to contribute to in-stream biological, chemical and physiochemical impact. The land cover classes arable horticulture and improved grassland together delineate the boundary areas of intensive agriculture and constrain the area for relative risk assessment. They also contribute to the risk factor scores with a distinction made between their relative risks.A modelling application SciMAP was applied with a 5m DTM to produce sediment source and deposition areas as well as identifying significant hydrological links to the river network.Each risk factor has been assigned a relative weighting from 0 – 1 dependant on its contribution to the overall risk (expert judgement/advice and literature review). These weightings have been used as multipliers for a three category risk index, 1 - 3 relating to banding of risk factor variables into increasing risk. The scores are then totalled to provide an overall risk for each land parcel. These can also be filtered on hydrological significance.Risk categories boundaries are determined by selecting +/- 1 standard deviation of the distribution of the scores. This provides a statistical basis for the low, medium and high risk category limits. Further categories can be created by increasing or relaxing the standard deviation applied. The extent of the area included in each category is dependent on the stringency of the standard deviation applied.CEH landcover 2007 and Met Office rainfall data used in the model.1Licence not specifiedover 2 years ago

- The Environmental Farming Scheme (EFS) is a voluntary agri-environment scheme that supports farmers and land managers to carry out environmentally beneficial farming practices on agricultural land. The aims of the scheme are to: restore, preserve and enhance biodiversity; improve water management and water quality; reduce soil erosion and improve soil management; foster carbon conservation and sequestration in agriculture; and reduce greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions from agriculture. EFS is made up of three levels - Wider, Higher and Group: EFS Wider level aims to deliver benefits across the countryside outside environmentally designated sites. EFS Higher level provides site specific plans for strategically important designated sites and for priority habitats and species. EFS Group level provides support for co-operative work in specific areas for farmers in EFS Wider or Higher. This service shows an up-to-date view of the EFS Higher and Wider levels. Scheme polygons are derived from DAERA’s EFS Field Classification layer (FCAT) and dissolved on the Scheme attribute for land within the Higher or Wider levels. The FCAT is derived from the DAERA Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS) each year. Permission was received from the Land and Property Service Derived Data Review Group for release of this data set. An accompanying EFS Agreement data layer shows point of EFS options in each field. This information is extracted from the current accepted agreements updated on a nightly basis. Note that there are a small number of EFS areas that are not included in this dataset as their options are not map based (they only have the Irish Moiled cattle option). A full list of EFS options and NPIs can be found in the Guide to EFS on the DAERA agri-environment webpage.1Licence not specifiedover 2 years ago
- The Environmental Farming Scheme (EFS) is a voluntary agri-environment scheme that supports farmers and land managers to carry out environmentally beneficial farming practices on agricultural land. The aims of the scheme are to: restore, preserve and enhance biodiversity; improve water management and water quality; reduce soil erosion and improve soil management; foster carbon conservation and sequestration in agriculture; and reduce greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions from agriculture. EFS is made up of three levels - Wider, Higher and Group: EFS Wider level aims to deliver benefits across the countryside outside environmentally designated sites. EFS Higher level provides site specific plans for strategically important designated sites and for priority habitats and species. EFS Group level provides support for co-operative work in specific areas for farmers in EFS Wider or Higher. This service shows an up-to-date point for each of the EFS options and non-productive investments (NPIs) in the Higher and Wider levels. Agreement points are derived from DAERA’s EFS Database and show the centroid of the agreement field in which the option is located. The points do not show the exact location of the option and, if there are several options in the field, the points may overlap. This information is extracted from the current accepted agreements updated on a nightly basis. Note that there are a small number of EFS areas that are not included in this dataset as their options are not map based (they only have the Irish Moiled cattle option). An accompanying EFS Scheme data layer shows polygons of EFS Higher and Wider levels. A full list of EFS options and NPIs can be found in the Guide to EFS on the DAERA agri-environment webpage.1Licence not specifiedover 2 years ago

- About this layer: A private water supply is any supply of water intended for human consumption and not provided by the water undertaker appointed under Article 13 of The Water and Sewerage Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006, i.e. NI Water Ltd. The Private Water Supplies Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2017 require the Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) to hold a register of private water supplies which includes supplies to public or commercial premises or two or more private dwellings where the water is used for drinking, cooking, food preparation or other domestic purposes. This spatial dataset (polygons) illustrates a layer of 100m by 100m squares, each of which is randomly described around a registered private water supply in Northern Ireland. Both private water supplies currently monitored, or historically monitored, by the Drinking Water Inspectorate at the time of creation of the dataset are identifiable. This dataset was created on 30th March 2021 and superseded 29th June 2021.Visualisation: This layer can be used for visualisation online in web maps.Analysis: This layer can be used in dashboards.Download: This data is downloadable.1Licence not specifiedover 2 years ago
