How can nature help protect us from floods?🌊
Don’t miss Episode 5 of @10Things_ToKnow on Monday Dec 2nd on RTE, featuring EPA Researcher @murphydarragh discussing nature-based solution for flood protection in Ireland! 💡
Tune in to hear about this insightful @EPAIreland Research
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.
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.
After four and a half years of storms, I finally handed up my PhD thesis. Thanks so much to all in the @SloWaters_Ire group and the support from @EPAResearchNews and @opwireland. Very curious about the future of Ireland's streams, fields and #NaturebasedSolutions
'A blank slate for rewilding': the Conor Pass & Páirc Náisiúnta na Mara Ciarraí announcement is an opportunity to think big and see the connections between different parts of the landscape. By @markus_eichhorn @uccBEES @UCC https://t.co/V9vOTvrcqY
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. https://t.co/lwa9gFdKGX
Well worth watching. Focus is on community action, great animations & simple accessible language. Features the Carndonagh flood (2017) and the @InishowenRivers response to it. Talks to experts and the people who are affected. Shows the potential for NbS flood actions in Ireland.
