Centre for Freshwater and Environmental Studies School of Health and Science

Centre for Freshwater and Environmental Studies State-of-the-art research facility Research funding of in excess of €4.5 million CFES carries out research in the following four areas: Lake and catchment management Wastewater and wetlands Organic resource management Sustainable water in developing countries Extensive national and international collaborations

Lake and Catchment Management Catchment management and source protection planning for rural water schemes Use of state-of-the-art high frequency sensors to monitor surface waters COST Action ES 1201 NETLAKE (www.netlake.org) Climate change impacts on water quality and availability – Ireland and Uganda Outreach and stakeholder involvement – e.g. education programme for primary schools developed with National Federation of GWSs (www.worldofwater.ie)

Source protection of raw water through measures to limit or eliminate risk of water contamination. Cattle poaching close to lake abstraction point inflow stream Cattle poaching close to lake abstraction point inflow stream Discharge pipe into lake abstraction point inflow stream Excessive algal growth in stream flowing into a lake abstraction

Sustainable Water for Developing Countries Water is Life project Funded by Irish Aid/HEA Programme for Strategic Co-operation and aims to: Support research with a “water-centred” focus In particular Water sourcing, Impacts on community health and gender 40 billion working hours are spent carrying water each year in Africa Households in rural Africa spend an average of 26% of their time fetching water – high female burden WaterAid 443 million school days are lost each year due to water- related diseases UNESCO

Wastewater and Alternative Wastewater Treatment Management Investigating the effect of on-site wastewater treatment systems (OSWTS) on surface water Aiming to understand contaminant pathways & provide data on the contribution of OSWTS to nutrient loading within catchment. Use of novel non-invasive geophysical techniques in collaboration with QUB, to track effluent plumes. Integrated Constructed Wetlands for the treatment of domestic wastewater Association with University of Salford and Monaghan CoCo. Based at ICW plant on grounds of the Castle Leslie Estate, Glaslough, Co. Monaghan. Aims to assess of the potential for groundwater contamination from unlined ICW treating domestic wastewater FUSION PROJECT – AWP Environmental (Ireland) Ltd T/A Viltra, Co. Dublin. The project aims to develop a hybrid wastewater treatment system and bring to the market.
