Water Framework Directive – The Application of Mathematical Models As Decision Support Tools

Synthesis Report - ERTDI Report 29 - Irvine et al , January 2013

Year: 2013

Identifies and reviews many situations where mathematical modelling can be a useful tool to assist in the understanding of hydrological and chemical transport and processes that occur in catchments, and the ecological response to anthropogenic alterations that affect them.

Endocrine Disruptors In The Irish Aquatic Environment

Synthesis Report - ERTDI Report 32 - Tarrant et al , January 2013

Year: 2013

A study that asks whether Irish rivers contain estrogenic compounds. If so, at what concentrations? Are these levels likely to pose a threat to aquatic ecosystems, particularly wild fish? Is there a risk to drinking water supplies?

Nutrient Levels And The Zebra Mussel Population In Lough Key

ERTDI Report 34 - Synthesis Report - Lucy et al , January 2013

Year: 2013

A study to quantify the total number and biomass of zebra mussels and to assess any changes to the population during the course of the study. Relevant water parameters and phytoplankton samples were analysed; direct ecological changes were also noted during the project.

Eutrophication From Agricultural Sources: A Comparison Of SWAT, HSPF And SHETRAN/GOPC Phosphorus Models For Three Irish Catchments

Synthesis Report - ERTDI Report 39 - Nasr et al , January 2013

Year: 2013

Report on the use of modelling non-point phosphorus loss from rural catchments in terms of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) objectives. The study focuses on physically based catchment-scale models which to date have not been applied to model phosphorus losses in Ireland.

Impact Assessment Of Highway Drainage On Surface Water Quality - Final Report

Final Report (2000-MS-13-M2)- Bruen et al , January 2013

Year: 2013

Assesses the environmental impacts of road run-off, including a review of existing practice in road drainage design and maintenance for rural dual carriageways and motorways in Ireland, and the assessment of any environmental impacts of such run-off.

Evaluation Of The Use Of The Sodium Dominance Index As A Potential Measure Of Acid Sensitivity - Final Report

Final Report (2000-LS-3.2.1a-M2) - Cruikshanks et al , January 2013

Year: 2013

Evaluates the efficacy of the SDI approach to site designation under Irish conditions. The water chemistry of 257 sites across Ireland were examined during base flow. A further 65 sites were sampled at base and elevated flow, and more detailed hydrological events were monitored at a smaller number of sites.

A New Approach to Bioaerosol Monitoring in Ireland

Climate Change Research Programme - CCRP Report 18, January 2013

Year: 2013

This major new publication was completed by Professor John Sodeau and his research team at the Centre for Research Atmospheric Chemistry (CRAC) in University College Cork (UCC). The team used state of the art air quality instrumentation, to detect and quantify pollen, fungal spores, and bacteria that are all components of the air we breathe and are known as bio-aerosols.
