Our Team Teagasc #CS2023 conference. Learning about natural flood retention measures in Wexford and hearing about automatic water sampling unit in the Ballycanew catchment.

We will host our End-of-Project Conference on Thursday 7th December 🔵 Book your space at the link below: irdduhallow.com/events/duhallo… 🔵🌳🐮

Well worth watching. Focus is on community action, great animations & simple accessible language. Features the Carndonagh flood (2017) and the Inishowen Rivers Trust response to it. Talks to experts and the people who are affected. Shows the potential for NbS flood actions in Ireland.

For the past 30 years, #Landsat satellites have helped scientists track the evolution of the Padma River 🛰️ Through its twists & turns, erosion has carved away the river’s outer edges, reshaping the landscape and leaving scars where water once flowed. go.nasa.gov/3T0HlEP

After four and a half years of storms, I finally handed up my PhD thesis. Thanks so much to all in the SloWaters Ireland group and the support from EPA Research News and Office of Public Works. Very curious about the future of Ireland's streams, fields and #NaturebasedSolutions

Noel Bardon of the Farmers Journal reports on how deploying rainwater retention measures on farmland could see farmers paid to prevent flooding downstream from their lands researchers in the SloWaters scheme told attendees at a conference this week. Check out the paper today.

Good news. The Arterial Drainage Act has been one of the greatest drivers of impaired hydrological and ecological functioning of Irish rivers. Reform and meaningful change to nationwide channel hydro-morphology will be a big challenge but this is a good step.

At last.
