Prof. Pat Dillon - Improving Water Quality, Focus on the Munster Blackwater River Catchment

The National Dairy Conference 2024 took place on Wednesday, 27th November 2024 at Limerick Racecourse, Patrickswell, Co. Limerick. The theme of the conference was 'Robust dairy farming for future challenges’.

Prof. Pat Dillon spoke about Improving Water Quality with Particular Focus on the Munster Blackwater River Catchment.
Abundant, clean and good quality water is a fundamental cornerstone of any thriving society and is necessary for a vibrant economy and enjoyable living environment. A strong and healthy aquatic ecosystem offers vital goods and services, such as the provision of drinking water. Whilst water quality in Ireland is good in a European context, water quality has not improved in recent years. Encouraging improvements are being made in some catchments; however, these are being offset by declines in water quality in others.
