Environmental aqueous geochemistry of arsenic in groundwater: occurrence, speciation and biogeochemical processes
(NUI Galway, 2020-04-27)The presence of arsenic and other trace elements within groundwater has become a global concern due to the health risks from drinking water associated with elevated concentrations in the last three decades. Whilst ample ... -
Methodology for the location of a subsurface permeable reactive barrier for the remediation of point source pollution on an Irish farm
(Teagasc, 2008-09)Nutrient loss from agricultural sources to water continues to be a national challenge. Diffuse pollution from agricultural sources is considered to be the primary cause of slight-to-moderate water pollution in Ireland, but ... -
A multi-disciplinary investigation of the provenance, pathways and geothermal potential of Irish thermal springs
(2016-02-26)The geothermal energy of thermal groundwater is currently being exploited for district-scale heating in many locations world-wide. The Carboniferous bedrock in the south and east of Ireland hosts a number of thermal springs ... -
Review: the environmental status and implications of the nitrate time lag in Europe and North America.
(Springer Verlag, 2017-08-14)The efficacy of water quality policies aiming to reduce or prevent nitrate contamination of waterbodies may be constrained by the inherent delay or Btime lag^ of water and solute transport through unsaturated (soil) and ... -
The short-term effects of management changes on watertable position and nutrients in shallow groundwater in a harvested peatland forest
(Elsevier, 2014-09-01)Management changes such as drainage, fertilisation, afforestation and harvesting (clearfelling) of forested peatlands influence watertable (WT) position and groundwater concentrations of nutrients. This study investigated ...
