Welcome to the EPA ENVision online environmental map viewer
EPA ENVision has been developed to enable
you to access information on the environment in Ireland in a spatial
context. The viewer enables you to view environmental information
interactively on a map.
Information is provided on:
environmental
quality -
- the quality of Ireland's rivers, lakes,
estuaries and coastal waters and the assessment of the risk that these
might fail to reach WFD standards
- the quality of bathing waters
- air quality (via a link to the corresponding
pages on the main EPA website)
facilities
licensed by the EPA -
- the locations of facilities with IPPC or
waste licences - the licences themselves may be downloaded via a link
back to the main EPA website
additional
datasets - such as
- land cover information - the Corine Land
Cover dataset for 2000
- indicative soil and subsoil datasets provided
to the EPA by Teagasc
- the locations of Water Framework Directive
Protected Areas and River Basin Districts, hydrometric stations and
river catchments
- the location of towns, rivers and lakes
Screen resolution
The map is best viewed at a screen resolution of
1280 x 1024, although a screen resolution of 1152 x 864 is
usable. If you set the resolution to anything below this you will need
to scroll. The viewer is not suitable for 800 x 600. For details of
how to change your screen resolution, continue to EPA Maps Online
and click the “Help” icon.
Download speed
If you are using a dial-up connection, the
initial map will take at least 1 minute to load. To optimise
performance using a dial up connection, it is best not to have lots of
map layers turned on when you are zoomed to the full extent of Ireland.
