Report production: July 2009 Consultation: August 2009 SUMMARY Ponds are an important freshwater habitat that has been shown to play a key role in maintaining biodiversity at landscape level. However, ponds are also vulnerable to environmental degradation and there is evidence that, at a national level, pond quality is declining. In 2007, the biodiversity importance of ponds was recognised when high quality ponds (Priority Ponds) were added to the list of UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) Priority Habitats.

  • Barge 1 Lagan Waterway and History
    LAGAN WATERWAY HISTORY Navigable waterways Prior to the advent of canals and railways in the 1700s and 1800s, packhorses and horses and carts or packhorse were the main means of moving stuff. Although Ireland has had a good road network since the 1600s, such roads were poorly surfaced and not always well maintained. The loads transported were thus limited by the hauling power of the horses and condition of the roads. Bulky, low-value goods such as coal, building materials and grain were particularly expensive to transport. Railways solved this problem, but only after the development of reliable steam locomotives in the mid-1800s. Before then, rivers were the cheapest way of moving large heavy loads where speed was not essential. Except for their tidal sections however, most rivers were not navigable for any great distance and the size of boats, and thus of the loads carried, was invariably limited by obstructions such as shallows, rapids and weirs. Navigations and canals Navigable waterways are of two types – navigations and canals. Navigations are existing natural watercourses whose navigability has been improved, whereas canals are entirely artificial channels excavated by hand and/or machine. The pros and cons of each type of waterway are as follows: For Against Navigations No major civil engineering works Prone to strong currents in winter and required so relatively cheap. lack of water in summer, both of which may make navigation temporarily impossible. [This was certainly the case on the Lagan] Summer water shortages are potentially exacerbated by demands of mill owners with prior rights to abstract water from the river.

  • Lough Neagh: the Site of a Cenozoic Pull-Apart Basin MARTYN F
    - 1 - Lough Neagh: the site of a Cenozoic pull-apart basin MARTYN F. QUINN British Geological Survey, Murchison House, West Mains Road, Edinburgh, EH9 3LA (email: [email protected]) Synopsis The Lough Neagh Basin in Northern Ireland is the site of a Cenozoic depocentre defined by gravity measurements and a thick succession of Paleocene basaltic lavas and Upper Oligocene clays. Much of the Cenozoic outcrop is concealed by Lough Neagh, but the rhombic outline of the lough provides some indication of the underlying structural control of the depocentre. Several authors have inferred that a Cenozoic pull-apart basin lies within the Lough Neagh area and suggest it is one of a number of transtensional basins, including the Bovey and Petrockstow basins in SW England, associated with NW to NNW-trending strike-slip fault zones. Solid geology maps and gravity data show that the structure of the Lough Neagh Basin is dominated by a segmented, orthogonal pattern of offset NNW and NE-trending faults. It is proposed that pull-apart basin formation took place in the Mid-Paleocene by dextral movement on these offset faults. The potential link between strike-slip tectonics and Cenozoic volcanism in the north of Ireland is briefly considered. Introduction The nature and mode of formation of pull-apart basins have been the subject of study by many workers, and examples have been described worldwide (for example, Aydin & Nur 1982; Mann et al. 1983; Sylvester 1988; Bartholomew et al. 1993; Oudmayer & de Jager 1993; Dooley et al. 1999; Reijs & McClay 2003). Pull-aparts are generally defined as zones of extension produced at bends or step-overs in a strike-slip fault system.
