I - Impact of vadose zone media (DRASTIC)
I layer is calculated by direct assignment of vadose zone material to I index values according to DRASTIC methodology, raning from 1 to 10. In areas covered by subsoil deposits, the vadose zone media classification (the ‘I’-rating) was based on soil and subsoil type. In areas of exposed bedrock and subcrop or areas with < 3 m of subsoil coverage, the characteristics of the vadose zone was taken from the aquifer characteristics.

Data Quality
In areas covered by subsoil deposits, the vadose zone media was reclassified from theTeagasc subsoils information . In areas with < 3 m of subsoil coverage, the characteristics of the vadose zone was taken from the aquifer characteristics. It was created using ERSI ArcMap 10.5 and QGIS as a shapefile and converted into .tiff format
