  • 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.

Introduction Welcome to the inaugural Connemara Pony Elite Sale. The Connemara Pony has travelled a long way, from its rugged, rural roots on the mountainsides of Connemara, to the pinnacles of equestrian society and competition around the world. We of the Connemara Pony Elite Sales Group are both excited and honoured to be another step in that journey. It is our intention to improve and assist, in whichever way we can, the marketing and selling of the Connemara. We believe this breed to be the top performance pony in the world - if we can bring them to market, the pony will do the rest. The ponies you will see presented today have been selected from a large pool, chosen as suitable by some of the most respected names in Irish equestrianism. They have proven themselves as present or future performers, and are pre-vetted and x-rayed before attending today’s Sale. We have been delighted with the wonderful feedback and support that we have received in bringing this sale to fruition. The good-will from all sides of the industry has been fantastic. We are confident that this evening will be a success, and will serve as a solid foundation in making this Sale an annual event. We hope you all have a wonderful day, that you enjoy the company, and that you find that special pony! The Connemara Pony Elite Sales Group.
