Terrain (DTM) & Surface (DSM) elevation models of river basins derived from airborne LIDAR survey systems. A Digital Terrain Model (DTM) is a digital file consisting of a grid of regularly spaced points of known height which, when used with other digital data such as maps or orthophotographs, can provide a 3D image of the land surface. This data is typically provided in tiles of 1km x 1km, each containing elevations in a 1m x 1m grid. Tiles are grouped and can be downloaded by area as shown on the index ‘River Basin LIDAR-Coverage Map’. Data acquired in 2009 & 2010 also contains Point Cloud files, a closely spaced (0.2m) irregular grid of elevations from which the 1m x1m grids were derived. By download or use of this dataset you agree to abide by the Open Government Data Licence.

The Environmental Farming Scheme (EFS) is a voluntary agri-environment scheme that supports farmers and land managers to carry out environmentally beneficial farming practices on agricultural land. The aims of the scheme are to: restore, preserve and enhance biodiversity; improve water management and water quality; reduce soil erosion and improve soil management; foster carbon conservation and sequestration in agriculture; and reduce greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions from agriculture. EFS is made up of three levels - Wider, Higher and Group: EFS Wider level aims to deliver benefits across the countryside outside environmentally designated sites. EFS Higher level provides site specific plans for strategically important designated sites and for priority habitats and species. EFS Group level provides support for co-operative work in specific areas for farmers in EFS Wider or Higher. This service shows an up-to-date point for each of the EFS options and non-productive investments (NPIs) in the Higher and Wider levels. Agreement points are derived from DAERA’s EFS Database and show the centroid of the agreement field in which the option is located. The points do not show the exact location of the option and, if there are several options in the field, the points may overlap. This information is extracted from the current accepted agreements updated on a nightly basis. Note that there are a small number of EFS areas that are not included in this dataset as their options are not map based (they only have the Irish Moiled cattle option). An accompanying EFS Scheme data layer shows polygons of EFS Higher and Wider levels. A full list of EFS options and NPIs can be found in the Guide to EFS on the DAERA agri-environment webpage.

The information in this file relates to offers of financial assistance approved by Invest NI between 1 April 2020 and 31 March 2025 and is intended to supplement the dataset held on the Open Data portal. In addition to financial support, Invest NI provides non-financial assistance through advice and guidance in the form of workshops, events, trade missions etc. These forms of support are not included in the offer dataset. Some information has been redacted from the dataset held on the portal in line with data protection regulations. This includes: Personal information, such as individual’s names and addresses; Projects that Invest NI plans to announce publicly on a future date, as early disclosure may result in detriment to the customer or Invest NI; and Commercially sensitive information, including the number of jobs created by individual projects while a project is still live as this would give a competitor insight into a business’ performance. Therefore, the tables contained in this workbook aggregate both the published and redacted data to provide the reader with a full picture of Invest NI support. The data has also been broken down into several different variables to provide information on: Ownership / Country - where Invest NI customers offered support originate from; Inward Investment - investment secured from outside NI by type of support (new to NI or existing investor); Geography - where customers are located in Northern Ireland (council, constituency, Belfast metropolitan area or rest of NI); Sector - which industrial sector customers operate in (based on Standard Industrial Classification (SIC Code); and Type of Support - what type of business development activity is being supported.

Groundwater Drinking Water Protected Areas (DWPA's) submitted as part of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) 2nd cycle reporting in 2016. The extent of each protected area was created by NIEA Land & Groundwater team. In order to provide water for people to drink we abstract raw water from reservoirs, rivers and the ground (known as groundwater). These areas are referred to a Drinking Water Protected Areas (DWPAs) within the Water Framework Directive. Where necessary this raw water is treated to purify it for us to drink. Groundwater DWPA's include areas where water is/ can be abstracted for public or private drinking water supplies, for direct inclusion within food (e.g. cooking or food preparation including processing, preservation or marketing of products or substances intended for human consumption), but not water intended for indirect uses such as spray irrigation. <span style='text-align: left; color: rgb(47, 60, 22); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.24px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; word-spacing: 0px; float: none; display: inline !important; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;'>

About this layer This data represents NIEA surveys and may not represent the entire extent of habitat or species across Northern Ireland. The Fen, swamp and flush Inventory incorporates evidence collected from a research contract to identify and survey areas of lowland fens of high nature conservation value in Counties Down and Armagh together with ongoing surveys by NIEA Conservation Science Habitat Survey Team (HST). The research focused on identifying fens in Counties Down and Armagh where the incidence of inter-drumlin fens is high. These fens are particularly important within Annex 1 of the Habitats Directive. The most extensive and diverse priority Lowland Fens and Reedbeds have also been identified in county Tyrone through surveys by HST. This only represents a partial dataset and does not include the complete priority Lowland Fen and Reedbed resource in Northern Ireland. Where point data only is available for older fen surveys across Northern Ireland, further mapping is required to provide a fuller representation of all priority fen communities in Counties Fermanagh, Derry/Londonderry and Antrim. Upland Flushes, Fens and Swamps are largely unrecorded.

The agricultural risk map is based on activity classed as arable horticulture or improved grassland by the CEH land cover map 2007, which is carried out on land parcels scored against a matrix of risk factors and the 2015 status of WFD enrichment indicators. These risk factors have the potential to contribute to in-stream biological, chemical and physiochemical impact. The land cover classes arable horticulture and improved grassland together delineate the boundary areas of intensive agriculture and constrain the area for relative risk assessment. They also contribute to the risk factor scores with a distinction made between their relative risks. A modelling application SciMAP was applied with a 5m DTM to produce sediment source and deposition areas as well as identifying significant hydrological links to the river network. Each risk factor has been assigned a relative weighting from 0 – 1 dependant on its contribution to the overall risk (expert judgement/advice and literature review). These weightings have been used as multipliers for a three category risk index, 1 - 3 relating to banding of risk factor variables into increasing risk. The scores are then totalled to provide an overall risk for each land parcel. These can also be filtered on hydrological significance. Risk categories boundaries are determined by selecting +/- 1 standard deviation of the distribution of the scores. This provides a statistical basis for the low, medium and high risk category limits. Further categories can be created by increasing or relaxing the standard deviation applied. The extent of the area included in each category is dependent on the stringency of the standard deviation applied. CEH landcover 2007 and Met Office rainfall data used in the model.

Orthophotography is aerial imagery that has been geometrically corrected. An orthophoto is an image that is free of distortion, and which is characterised by a uniform scale over its entire surface - it has been ortho-rectified. Orthophotography was captured as part of the 2021 NI 3D Coastal Survey. Coverage extends across the entire Northern Ireland coastline, including the intertidal area, and extending approximately 200 meters landward of the high water mark. Colour Infrared orthophotography imagery was captured with a 10cm resolution.

Map of all of Northern Ireland's lakes for which data was available to NIEA during 2013.
The Water Framework Directive (WFD) required Northern Ireland to define both surface and groundwaters as a coherent set of hydrological units. These units would then be monitored and managed to prevent deterioration in water quality and aquatic ecosystems through the implementation a programme of measures to drive improvements. This map displays Northern Ireland lakes which are greater than 50ha, which are assessed under WFD legislation and have been reported to EU from 2016.
Water Framework Directive (WFD) legislation requires the definition of both surface and groundwaters as a coherent set of hydrological units which could be monitored and managed. Certain parcels of land situated between river water bodies and transitional or coastal water bodies did not warrant classification as a river water body. Such parcels of land are defined as coastal interbasins and have not formed part of the 1st or 2nd cycle classification process. The European Water Framework Directive was transposed to national legislation through the Water Environment (Water Framework Directive) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2017. The Water (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ensures that the Water Framework Directive (WFD) (as transposed) and the various supporting pieces of water legislation remain implemented in Northern Ireland as National legislation.

The Environmental Farming Scheme (EFS) is a voluntary agri-environment scheme that supports farmers and land managers to carry out environmentally beneficial farming practices on agricultural land. The aims of the scheme are to: restore, preserve and enhance biodiversity; improve water management and water quality; reduce soil erosion and improve soil management; foster carbon conservation and sequestration in agriculture; and reduce greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions from agriculture. EFS is made up of three levels - Wider, Higher and Group: EFS Wider level aims to deliver benefits across the countryside outside environmentally designated sites. EFS Higher level provides site specific plans for strategically important designated sites and for priority habitats and species. EFS Group level provides support for co-operative work in specific areas for farmers in EFS Wider or Higher. This service shows an up-to-date view of the EFS Higher and Wider levels. Scheme polygons are derived from DAERA’s EFS Field Classification layer (FCAT) and dissolved on the Scheme attribute for land within the Higher or Wider levels. The FCAT is derived from the DAERA Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS) each year. Permission was received from the Land and Property Service Derived Data Review Group for release of this data set. An accompanying EFS Agreement data layer shows point of EFS options in each field. This information is extracted from the current accepted agreements updated on a nightly basis. Note that there are a small number of EFS areas that are not included in this dataset as their options are not map based (they only have the Irish Moiled cattle option). A full list of EFS options and NPIs can be found in the Guide to EFS on the DAERA agri-environment webpage.

About this layer This data represents NIEA surveys and may not represent the entire extent of habitat or species across Northern Ireland This Woodland Inventory incorporates evidence collected from a series of research contracts let to identify and survey areas of woodland of high nature conservation value. Research projects focused on identifying woodlands across Northern Ireland with more targeted surveys undertaken in AONBs, County Fermanagh and Lagan Valley Regional Park where the incidence of woodlands is high. The most extensive and diverse priority woodlands have been identified through these surveys by NIEA Conservation Science Habitat Survey Team (HST), and have been further surveyed. Only those woodlands of particular importance within Annex 1 of the Habitats Directive have been identified by the HST. This only represents a partial dataset and does not include the complete priority woodland resource in Northern Ireland. Where point data only is available for older woodland surveys, further mapping is required to provide a fuller representation of all priority woodlands across Northern Ireland. The Ancient Woodland Inventory has identified small blocks of woodland which may be considered as long-established or ancient woodland, but the priority woodland communities frequently extend beyond those areas mapped as ancient woodland and these must also be included as priority woodland when considering planning applications. A comprehensive survey of semi-natural woodlands in County Fermanagh provides a fairly comprehensive list of priority woodlands in this county. Data Sources: Habitat Survey Team, Conservation Science: 1985 - 2014 Fermanagh Woodland survey – excluding ‘Conifer Plantation’ - Liverpool University – 1991 Ancient Woodland Inventory – excluding ‘planted conifer’ and ‘semi-natural conifer’ – Woodland Trust - 2008 HST - Northern Ireland Environment Agency Woodland Trust What can you do with the layer?
