Water Quality measurements - The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)#
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for protecting and improving the environment in Ireland.
EPA offers an Open Data portal that is populated using the EPA’s CRM Bathing Water information service and the EPA’s central water quality database Aquarius. Local authorities report this information to the EPA via the Bathing Water Information System (BWIS) and Monitoring Data System (MDS) applications on EDEN (Environmental Data Exchange Network). The EPA provides this information to the public via the responsive beaches.ie website.
