• Title

  Assessing, modelling and managing water and contaminant movement along pathways, from the land surface to aquatic receptors
  Summary

  The research will improve our knowledge of over-ground and underground pathways from both diffuse and point pollution sources to receiving water bodies, by examining flow, transport and attenuation processes. Modelling of these pathways is a key objective, enabling the development of a catchment management tool. Project partners are Queen's University Belfast and UCD.

  Investigation into the health risks associated with private rural well schemes in Ireland
  Summary

  There are over 100,000 private wells in Ireland, many of which are poorly located or poorly constructed. The aim of the research was to quantify health risks associated with private well supplies, and also to explore the awareness amongst consumers of the links between water and health. The research included the development of a source susceptibility predictive model.

This aspect involves an assessment of the effectiveness of improved well sources in an area of southwest Uganda, together with preparation of a catchment water balance and modeling of potential impacts of changing climate on water sources. The wider project involves 7 Irish third level institutions (including TCD), plus Makerere University in Kampala, and is being led by Dundalk IT.

• Title

  Groundwater vulnerability research
  Summary

  Supervisor of a project with the Geological Survey of Ireland that developed procedures for assessing groundwater vulnerability in Ireland. This included the introduction of secondary indicators of groundwater vulnerability, such as surface drainage density and vegetation characteristics.

• Title

  Hydraulic performance of subsoils
  Summary

  Hydrogeological researcher on 3 EPA projects to establish the hydraulic performance and efficiencies of different subsoils and the effectiveness of alternative secondary systems for treating effluent from single houses. The current project (2011-2014) is investigating treatment performance and options (including willow beds) in areas with poor soil drainage characteristics.

• Title

  The impacts of domestic wastewater treatment systems on private wells and rivers
  Summary

  The aim of the project is to evaluate the impact of DWWTS effluent as a health hazard to consumers of groundwater from private wells and also a source of nutrient water pollution to surface water in small catchments. The main pollutants being studied are microbial pathogens and phosphorus. The research includes identifying an appropriate fingerprinting technique in order to track effluent contamination in both surface and groundwater.

• Title

  Validation of air dispersion models for the road transport sector in Ireland
  Summary

  Co-ordinator of research project for the EPA, concerned with validation of air pollution dispersion modelling for the road transport sector under Irish conditions. Project included monitoring of air polltants at a free-flowing motorway site (near Leixlip) and an interupted-flow roundabout site in Galway. The two models mainly applied were the DMRB and CALINE4 air dispersion models. The results have been published by the EPA in a synthesis report.
