    Flood Analysis of the Clare River Catchment Considering Traditional Factors and Climate Change

    Flood Analysis of the Clare River Catchment Considering Traditional Factors and Climate Change AUTHOR Pierce Faherty G00073632 A Thesis Submitted in Part Fulfilment for the Award of M.Sc. Environmental Systems, at the College of Engineering, Galway Mayo Institute of Technology, Ireland Submitted to the Galway Mayo Institute of Technology, September 2010 .... ITUTE Of TECHNOLOGY DECLARATION OF ORIGINALITY September 2010 The substance of this thesis is the original work of the author and due reference and acknowledgement has been made, when necessary, to the work of others. No part of this thesis has been accepted for any degree and is not concurrently submitted for any other award. I declare that this thesis is my original work except where otherwise stated. Pierce Faherty Sean Moloney Date: 1 7 - 01" 10__ Abstract The main objective of this thesis on flooding was to produce a detailed report on flooding with specific reference to the Clare River catchment. Past flooding in the Clare River catchment was assessed with specific reference to the November 2009 flood event. A Geographic Information System was used to produce a graphical representation of the spatial distribution of the November 2009 flood. Flood risk is prominent within the Clare River catchment especially in the region of Claregalway. The recent flooding events of November 2009 produced significant fluvial flooding from the Clare River. This resulted in considerable flood damage to property. There were also hidden costs such as the economic impact of the closing of the N17 until floodwater subsided. Land use and channel conditions are traditional factors that have long been recognised for their effect on flooding processes.

Catch statistics relating to two estuarine fisheries are discussed to show the changes that have occurred both in the numbers and characteristics of salmon being exploited in the inshore draft (seine) net and traps from 1948 to 1987. Up to the late sixties the salmon catch in thc inshore nets and traps ware subje~t to tha normal fluctuations that occur in salmon catche~. With a change in thc regulations governing drift netting there was a marked decline in the numbers of salmon taken in the inshore nets and traps. This 1s also reflected in the count of salmon entering the River Shannon. A corresponding increase was notcd in the numbers of fish taken in the coastal drift net fishery. This change in the pattern of exploitation was confined to the 1 soa winter fish. The coastal drift net fishery takes place in thc summer months ­ June/JulYi whenthe bulkof the 1 sea winter fish make their appcarancc in Irish coastal waters. This change in pattern of exploitation is also reflected in the reported catch statistics for the whole country. In 1960 19% of the catch was taken in drift nets. This increased to 85% in 1985. -1- / \ .. 1. Introduction: .,... This paper describes the 'fluctuations iri the annual catch of salmon from two river systems.

    Chapter 5 THE SOUTH-WEST counties East, south and north-west CORK -- KERRY -- west LIMERICK East CORK Cobh -- Spike Island Throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth century, visitors to Ireland from Britain and the Continent were appalled at the poverty of its people, and wondered at this because so much of the land was fertile. There were many reasons for the destitution, so many that Frank O'Connor neatly sidesteps them -- but he is in little doubt of the main reason: ignorance of the true condition of Ireland, on the part of its distant government, because of the difficulties involved in visiting it [1] : Books about a country usually begin with its history. Books about Ireland which do this tend to remain unread. The misunderstandings are too many... Ultimately, perhaps, all the misunderstandings can be traced to sixty miles of salt water which stretches between Britain and Ireland. O'Connor was writing in the 1940s. Mr & Mrs Hall begin their vast, chatty, obsequious (to the English reader) but well-intentioned three-volume Ireland , a hundred years earlier (1841), with a long description of the purgatory of a pre-steam crossing to Cork. They agree with O'Connor [2] : It was not alone the miserable paucity of accommodation and utter indifference to the comfort of the passengers, that made the voyage an intolerable evil. Though it usually occupied but three or four days, frequently as many weeks were expended in making it. It was once our lot to pass a month between the ports of Bristol and Cork; putting back, every now and then, to the wretched village of Pill, and not daring to leave it even for an hour, lest the wind should change and the packet weigh anchor..

    Etappe 22: Ring of Beara Bantry – Glengarriff – Adrigole – Castletown Berehaven – Allihies – Ardgroom – Lauragh – Kenmare (128 km) Eine Rundtour um die Beara-Halbinsel, mit der im zweiten Teil der Wechsel vom County Cork zur Grafschaft Kerry erfolgt. Kartenskizze Etappe 22 Aus Bantry heraus führt die Strecke über die N71 (T65) an der Küste entlang bis Glengarriff; die Szenerie ist bei Glengarriff und später bis Adrigole sehr rauh, und insgesamt ist der Ring of Beara imposanter, unbekannter und anstrengender als der berühmte Ring of Kerry. Glengarriff, gäl. Gleann Garbh, 300 Einw., Co. Cork, ist ein Dorf, in dem im Sommer mehr Touristen als Einheimische anzutreffen sind. Es liegt an einer geschützten Seitenbucht der Bantry Bay und ist klimatisch dermaßen begün- stigt, daß es als mildester Ort Irlands im Winter gilt. Die deshalb üppig wach- sende Vegetation bietet einen Vorgeschmack auf die erstaunlichen Rhodo- dendron- und Fuchsienhaine, die die Grafschaft Kerry auszeichnen. Ein weite- rer Vorgeschmack auf die Tourismuszentren Kerrys erfolgt durch die Bootsleu- te, die arglose Besucher zu einem Trip nach Garinish Island überreden wollen. 1 Diese kleine Insel vor Glengarriff beherbergt einen der schönsten künstlich an- gelegten Gärten Irlands.

Cork. Ageing highway structures present a challenge throughout the developed world. The introduction of bridge management systems (BMS) allows bridge owners to assess the condition of their bridge stock and formulate bridge rehabilitation strategies under the constraints of limited budgets and resources. This research presents a decision-support system for bridge owners in the selection of the best strategy for bridge rehabilitation on a highway network. The basis of the research is an available dataset of 1,367 bridge inspection records for County Cork that has been prepared to the Eirspan BMS inspection standard and which includes bridge structure condition ratings and rehabilitation costs.
