catchments.ie shares science and stories about Ireland’s water catchments, and people’s connections to their water.
Living in a catchment that has healthy water can help a community's wellbeing. It also means that wildlife like plants, animals, fish and insects that need healthy water can thrive and flourish.
On catchments.ie you can read about how people are looking after their catchment. You can also find out about your local river, lake or estuary, with maps, dashboards, and nearly 5,000 data pages showing water quality information.
Catchments.ie is a collaboration between the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Local Authority Waters Programme.
