Maps - some really useful sites

Joking aside

in the UK there is a great site which shows how far the local river has to rise before you get flooded - it gives all of the flood risks for any site

In ireland - it seems - that although this info is available - its not available to the public without charge

To get info on flood records and flood risk in Ireland, go to http://www.opw.ie/en/FloodRiskManagement/
The OPW launched a very useful GIS flood record and flood risk interface 2-3 years ago = http://www.floodmaps.ie/.

But I think the system is only in its infancy.

It almost gives the impression that before a certain date no floods occurred in Ireland.

Which no doubt is very comforting to those elected representatives and county managers who granted permissions in flood risk areas.
