Dataset description

Datasets of __hydro energy potential __are Downloadable as GIS shapefiles. Two Spatial reference systems are applied to the Downloadable shapefiles: Irish transverse Mercator (ITM) and WGS 84 (EPSG:3857). A 1985 study provided the raw data and technical terms in its glossary ([link](https://seaiopendata.blob.core.windows.net/hydro/DOE_1985_Small%20Scale%20Hydro-Electric%20Potential%20of%20Ireland.pdf)). Important terms are: Head: The level difference between the water surface at intake and trailrace of a Turbine. Tailrace: The discharge channel from a Turbine or waterwheel before rejoining the main river channel. The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) offers the same data in its Hydro Mapping System, a digital map of Ireland’s hydro energy connections and potential resources (http://gis.seai.ie/hydro). __References__ Small-scale Hydro-electric Potential of Ireland, Department of Energy, 1985. https://seaiopendata.blob.core.windows.net/hydro/DOE_1985_Small%20Scale%20Hydro-Electric%20Potential%20of%20Ireland.pdf
