Today is World Water Day 🌍 💦. Over the last year, Ripple explored ways to connect water and climate action in our towns. You can read the final report on Ripple, how we worked and what we did here 👇🏼creativeireland.gov.ie/app/uploads/20…

Great to see this work published! CWRR members in UCD Civil Engineering Assoc Prof John O'Sullivan, Prof Michael Bruen and @LindaHeerey co-authored this EPA report on the sources, pathways and environmental fate of #microplastics with collaborators at @ATU_ResearchGM

Huge congrats to Bí URBAN on winning the Best Green Sustainable Initiative at the LAMA CC Awards 2023 for 'The NatureRx Rain Garden' pilot held in Stoneybatter Pride of Place #LAWPRO is delighted to have supported the pilot along with Dublin City Council and we look forward to the next stage👏

Combined sewer systems are frequently overspilling due to urbanisation & increasingly intense rainfall. It was nice to contribute to BBC Radio 4 @costingtheearth on #sewage #pollution, to explain how nature-based solutions can help address the problem! bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Today The Water Forum - An Fóram Uisce & Sarah Cotterill met with Ministers Darragh O'Brien & Malcolm Noonan to discuss how to improve water conservation in Ireland & make buildings more water efficient. A very positive meeting, the start of ongoing engagement with Department of Housing, Local Government & Heritage

Climate change will have serious impacts on Ireland's water resources, both water availability and water quality.
