The Wexford model is located on the River Slaney as it makes the transition from Upper to Lower Slaney Estuary and on to Wexford Harbour. It is tidally influenced along its length. Additional HPWs directly affecting Wexford AFA are also part of the Wexford model (Model 5). These include: an urban watercourse originating in Hayestown which joins the Slaney at Ferrycarrig Bridge; two small urban watercourses at Carricklawn which enter the Lower Slaney Estuary directly; the Bishops Water which flows through Wexford town and enters the Lower Slaney Estuary; and three small relatively steep watercourses to the south of the AFA at Latimerstown, Sinnottstown and Coolballow. The Sinnotstown watercourse enters Lower Slaney Estuary approximately 1km north of Wexford Harbour. There are no gauging stations with available flow data located on the watercourses within the Wexford model. Gauging station 12064 at Ferrycarrig Bridge is tidal with only water level data available. The total contributing catchment area at the downstream limit of the Slaney portion of the model is 1,753km 2, which includes the entire Slaney catchment. The individual watercourses which directly affect the AFA all have catchment areas of less than 10km 2. There are four models located upstream of the Wexford model – Enniscorthy and Environs (Model 4), Bunclody (Model 3), Tullow (including Tullowphelim) (Model 2) and Baltinglass (Model 1). All watercourses in this model have been identified as high priority watercourses, and so have been modelled as 1D-2D using the MIKE suite of software.

Figure 4.10.5 and Figure 4.10.6 below show overview drawings of the model schematisation. Figure 4.10.7 to Figure 4.10.9 show detailed views. The overview diagram covers the model extents, showing the surveyed cross-section locations, AFA boundary and river centre line. It also shows the area covered by the 2D model domain. The detailed areas provided are samples of where there is the most significant risk of flooding. These diagrams include the surveyed cross-section locations, AFA boundary and river centre. They also show the location of the critical structures as discussed in Section 4.10.3, along with the location and extent of the links between the 1D and 2D models. For clarity in viewing cross-section locations, the detailed diagram shows the full extent of the surveyed cross-sections. Note that the 1D model considers only the cross-section between the 1D-2D links.

There are four distinct ICWWS CAPO Prediction Locations within the Wexford AFA, two of which have been subject to modelling. These are labelled as B and C1/C2 in the diagram (Due to the orientation of the shoreline, for modelling purposes, it was necessary to split Location C into two sections of different lengths, C1 and C2). It should be noted that this mesh is considerably smaller than the overall mesh for analysing fluvial and mechanism 1 tidal flooding as the area of interest is much more localised.
