Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Water Quality Monitoring Report: Discussion
Ms Mary Gurrie:
That is just a reporting threshold. It is an indicator. If you hit 25 mg/l in groundwater, it is a sign that you have polluted groundwater. It is way above natural levels.
It is not used as a standard. It is not used, other than in the reporting, as an indicator that levels are getting high.
