Science Week 2022 – Water Forum Panel Discussion on the Potential Impacts of Climate change on water quantity and water quality.
Dr Triona McGrath, Research Lead with the Water Forum discusses the potential impacts for water quality with Dr Michelle McKeown of University College Cork and the impacts on water quantity with Dr Fiachra O’Loughlin from University College Dublin. The researchers highlight the fact that we need much more strategic responses and planning for drought that will be particularly impactful in the east and south and more urgent action is needed to reduce pollutants on land as these are highly susceptible to mobilisation during extreme rainfall events causing pollution in our waterways.
