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.

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

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

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.
