National Monuments Service - Monuments to VisitDepartment of Housing, Local Government, and HeritageTimpeallachtThis dataset pinpoints national monuments around the country which are accessible to the public. The national monuments mapped on the website feature those at which the Office of Public Works maintain visitor services (for which there may be a charge) and those which have no...

Groundwater is the water stored below ground in tiny cracks in the rock or in very small spaces between sand grains. It comes from rainwater that soaks into the ground into an aquifer. An aquifer is a body of rock and/or sediment that holds groundwater. The process of rain...

EolaíochtWater tracing involves tagging water to see where it goes. The time the tracers take to get from one point to the other is also usually recorded. It is most commonly used in karst environments to ascertain groundwater flow rates, directions and catchment definitions (Zone of...

EolaíochtDifferent aquifers have differing abilities to store and transmit water. Based on the hydrogeological characteristics and on the value of the groundwater resource, GSI has classified Ireland’s land surface into aquifer categories. GSI Aquifer classes are divided into three...

This Hydrostratigraphic Rock Unit Groups map is a reclassification of the 1:100,000 bedrock geology map, created by grouping bedrock formations and members into 27 Rock Unit Group categories based on their hydrogeological properties and other factors.

Karst is a landscape with distinctive landforms that develop on rock types that are readily dissolved by water. In Ireland, karstification mostly occurs in limestone regions. This karst dataset contains mapped karst landforms in Ireland including: boreholes, caves, dry...

The groundwater vulnerability concept is based largely on the question “can water and contaminants move in the subsurface materials (soil and subsoil) and/get down to groundwater easily?” Groundwater is most at risk where the subsoils are absent or thin and in areas of karstic...

This database contains records of boreholes, dug wells, springs, and site investigations. Data are derived from GSI drilling, fieldwork and surveys, Local Authorities and other state bodies, Private Well Grants, Drillers, Consultants, Group Water Schemes and Academia. It is...

The Groundwater Subsoil Permeability map classifies how easy water can infiltrate subsoils downwards at any point in the land surface. Permeability across the country is classified as either ‘High’, ‘Moderate’ or ‘Low’. This map is used to determine groundwater vulnerability...

Before building new structures engineering companies carry out a site investigation to find out the quality of the ground (strength and depth of soil and to see if rock and or groundwater is present). These investigations involve digging holes such as trial pits and boreholes....
