The Efficiencies Of Subsoils For On-Site Wastewater Disposal With Respect To Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals

Small Scale Study - Ó Súilleabháin et al , January 2007

Year: 2007

Project looking primarily at surface freshwater resources and the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals from wastewater treatment works

Eutrophication From Agricultural Sources: Models And Risk Assessment Schemes For Predicting Phosphorus Loss To Water

Final Report - ERTDI Report 43 - Daly , May 2006

Year: 2006

Eutrophication study using three modelling approaches to capture a range of modelling complexities and methodologies that could be applied to Irish data. The three modelling studies captured physically based, empirical and risk assessment (multi-criteria) models.

Eutrophication From Agricultural Sources:Relating Catchment Characteristics To Phosphorus Concentrations In Irish Rivers

Final Report - ERTDI Report 42 - Daly et al , May 2006

Year: 2006

Research relating water quality data to catchment characteristics, and deriving a model that describes or predicts P levels in Irish surface waters.

Eutrophication From Agricultural Sources: Phosphorus Concentration And Flow

Final Report - ERTDI Report 40 - Doody et al , May 2006

Year: 2006

Investigates processes controlling phosphorus (P) loss in overland flow, to identify, describe and evaluate mechanisms responsible for this observed increase in dissolved P concentration with an increase in overland flow rate.

Impact Assessment Of Highway Drainage On Surface Water Quality

Synthesis Report - ERTDI Report 49 - Bruen et al , January 2006

Year: 2006

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

Synthesis Report - ERTDI Report 50 - Cruikshanks et al , January 2006

Year: 2006

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.

Nutrient Levels And The Zebra Mussel Population In Lough Key - Final Report

Final Report (2000-MS-5-M1) - Lucy et al , May 2005

Year: 2005

This study aims to quantify the total number and biomass of zebra mussels and assess 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.

Water Framework Directive: Identification And Ranking Of Nature Conservation Designated Areas, Where The Status Of Water Is An Important Factor

Final Report - ERTDI Report 24 - Ó Riain et al , May 2005

Year: 2005

The development of a methodology for identifying water-dependent habitats and hence protected areas with such habitats. It recorded these sites in digital form within a combined database and mapping system and recorded the water-dependent habitats and the species they contain.

Final Report - ERTDI Report 41 - Kurz et al , May 2005

Year: 2005

Project measuring the impact of cattle on soil physical properties relevant to the hydrological characteristics of a site, and assessing whether their presence is likely to influence the quality of the overland flow produced at a site.
