Northern Ireland Water Classification Statistics 2024 Report
Date published:
The water classification statistics 2024 report provides the most recent assessment for all surface water bodies (rivers, lakes and marine). The updated report can be downloaded below.
Statistics on the state of the water environment are published annually in the Northern Ireland Environmental Statistics Report. Water Classification Statistics are not updated each year due to the timescales of the monitoring.
The report below is an update on the status of all surface water body types: rivers, lakes and transitional & coastal. Due to a long lag time, groundwater body classifications are not updated mid-cycle. The 2021 groundwater body status (chemical & quantitative), which is included the Northern Ireland Water Framework Statistics report 2021, remains current.
