Groundwater Hydromorphology pressures

Significant pressures have been identified for waterbodies that are At Risk of not meeting their water quality objectives under the Water Framework Directive. While there are a multitude of pressures in every waterbody, the significant pressures are those pressures which need to be addressed in order to improve water quality. Many of our waterbodies have multiple significant pressures. A robust scientific assessment process has been carried out to determine which pressures are the significant pressures. This has incorporated over 140 datasets, a suite of modelling tools, and local knowledge from field and enforcement staff from the Local Authorities, Inland Fisheries Ireland and EPA. Impacts from hydromorphology include alteration to the physical environment and flow regimes.已识别出部分水体存在重大压力因素，此类水体面临无法满足《水框架指令》(Water Framework Directive)所规定水质目标的风险。尽管每个水体均存在诸多压力源，但重大压力因素特指为改善水质必须加以治理的各类压力。多数水体存在多项重大压力因素。本次评估采用严谨规范的科学流程以甄别各类压力中的重大压力源，整合了超过140套数据集、一系列建模工具，以及来自地方当局、爱尔兰内陆渔业局(Inland Fisheries Ireland)与爱尔兰环境保护局(EPA)的一线执法人员与实地调研人员的本土实操经验。水文形态学(hydromorphology)带来的影响包括对水体物理环境与水流情势的改变。
