The Fresh Water Slaney Project 23/24The River Slaney and its tributaries are literally the lifeblood of our people and our environment. Healthy rivers mean healthy humans, crops and animals. Much of the water we need comes from the River Slaney and its tributaries an important fact that is often overlooked.
Over the past 18 months in 2023 and 2024, Sustainable Enniscorthy has been taking part in an exciting citizen science project called FreshWater Watch. This global project aims to allow citizens to easily monitor and protect the health of the waterbodies upon which we all depend. The FreshWater Slaney project has recently been completed by the group. It involved thirteen volunteers visiting waterbodies around Enniscorthy, recording basic waterbody information, analysing water quality results for Nitrates and Phosphorus and recording these on a GIS App. The results make for fascinating if not slightly concerning reading.
