Groundwater Body Descriptions
 Descriptions for each GWB were developed by the GSI, and augmented by the RBD consultants. A small number of conceptual models were developed which fit the limited range of situations encountered in Ireland; each GWB was informally allocated to one of these.    The groundwater body descriptions are listed below in alphabetical order.
