Public Water Supply Source Protection Areas and Group Water Scheme Preliminary Source Protection Areas Zones of Contribution. Groundwater is a major natural resource and supplies up to one third of Ireland's drinking water. Public water supplies in some counties come entirely from groundwater, and some counties rely mainly on surface water. Two thirds of Group Water Schemes use wells and springs. In rural areas not served by Public or Group Water Schemes, groundwater is usually the only source of supply and there are more than 100,000 private wells and springs in use. With such a large proportion of the country relying on groundwater it is essential that this resource is properly protected. This can be achieved through appropriate land use planning and practice. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><P><SPAN>Groundwater sources, particularly public, group scheme and industrial supplies, are of critical importance in many regions. The Public Supply Source Protection Areas dataset comprises Source Protection Areas (SPAs) around groundwater abstraction points that are managed by Irish Water to supply Public Water Supply Schemes across Ireland. The objective of the SPAs is to provide protection by placing tighter controls on activities within all or part of the zone of contribution (ZOC) of the source. The Zone of Contribution (ZOC) is the land area that contributes water to the well or spring. Two Source Protection Areas (SPAs) are delineated. The Inner Protection Area (SI), designed to protect against the effects of human activities that might have an immediate effect on the source and, in particular, against microbial pollution. The Outer Protection Area (SO), encompassing the remainder of the zone of contribution (ZOC) to the groundwater abstraction point (e.g. borehole or spring). The Group Scheme Preliminary Source Protection Areas dataset comprises Zones of Contribution to groundwater abstraction points that supply Group Water Schemes across Ireland that are affiliated to the National Federation of Group Water Schemes and that supply more than 15 people . The ZOCs are preliminary protection areas around groundwater abstractions, but are not full Source Protection Areas.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV> |
