Public Sector Body	Ordnance Survey Ireland
Potential Use	These type of datasets are used for a variety of environmental applications, for example modelling watersheds of river catchments, archaeological investigations, landscape modelling (e.g. landslides). The wide variety of uses mean it could potentially be beneficial for many areas of research and applied land management. However, the cost of purchasing such datasets can be prohibitively expensive. The data is freely available on the Northern Ireland open data portal for select river basins.
