Dataset description

Water Framework Directive (WFD) Canal Waterbodies are the management and reporting units for the WFD. This is a polyline shapefile dataset which is formed from a Waterways Ireland Canal Polygon dataset and river network dataset. These canal waterbodies are also included in the overall River Waterbodies (RWB) WFD dataset. Each waterbody has a unique identifier (EU_CD) so the dataset can be linked directly to other WFD data sources such as physical characteristics, risk, classification and other objectives.

Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.

Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.

Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.

Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
