Resource or Project Abstract
Knowledge of the natural background levels of parameters in groundwater is an essential prerequisite for understanding pollution and for imposing regulatory limits (Edmunds et al, 2003). In Ireland, the status of groundwater is assessed via the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD 2000/60/EC) which stipulates that groundwater status must be assessed and that good chemical and quantitative status must be achieved in order to protect human health and associated dependent ecosystems.
