We recently marked the completion of one of the largest projects to upgrade the drinking water supply in South Dublin and North Wicklow. The Old Connaught Woodbrook Water Supply Scheme will provide a more reliable water supply for existing homes and businesses while also providing additional capacity for future growth.

Rinneamar céiliúradh le déanaí ar chríochnú ceann de na tionscadail is mó chun uasghrádú a dhéanamh ar an soláthar uisce óil i mBaile Átha Cliath Theas agus i gCill Mhantáin Thuaidh. Cuirfear ar fáil le Scéim Soláthair Uisce Sheanchonach Shruthán na Coille soláthar uisce níos iontaofa do thithe agus do ghnólachtaí reatha agus toilleadh breise a chur ar fáil le haghaidh fáis amach anseo freisin.

We recently hosted an event on a farm within the Erne-Larah Catchment in Co. Cavan to showcase the measures being deployed under the Erne-Larah Water Source Protection Project. The event demonstrated the good practice for pesticide management and was attended by representatives of the project stakeholder groups including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Ireland, the Agricultural Sustainability Support and Advisory Programme (ASSAP) at Teagasc, Local Authority Waters Programme (LAWPRO), Northern Ireland Water, as well as participants in the project. Hosted by Peter Denning on his farm, our Integrated Catchment Manager, Lorraine Gaston, started the day with an overview of the project and introduced the project team members from Jacobs, Philip Farrelly & Company and colleagues from Uisce Éireann. Declan Phelan, Agricultural Advisor from Philip Farrelly & Co, provided a summary of his role and the work undertaken in engaging with and supporting famers in the project. Declan led a tour of the measures that had been deployed on the farm including new fencing (watercourse protection), smart riparian buffer, grassland management and a new solar pump and drinking trough. Domhnall J Kennedy, from the Agricultural Sustainability Support and Advisory Programme at Teagasc (ASSAP), gave a presentation on good practice for pesticide application, focusing particularly on minimum buffer distances to watercourses that should be maintained. John Keogh from Animal and Plant Health Association (APHA) also gave a demonstration using a Model Boom Sprayer (pictured below) to show how sprayers should be filled, set-up and emptied for use and the effect of different nozzle types on spray drift. Peter Denning also showed the group additional group water protection measures that he has completed on his farm to reduce silts and soils being eroded and washed into the Larah River. The Erne-Larah Water Source Protection project aims to understand how landowners can prevent pesticides from getting into drinking water sources. The pilot study in Cavan's Erne-Larah Catchment is encouraging farmers to consider the vulnerability of the water supplies to pesticide contamination and the importance of the water source to the local homes and businesses in the community. This pilot study is assisting Uisce Éireann with capturing new data and learnings on how different protection measures and actions can improve source water quality and how similar projects might be considered elsewhere in the country.
