Identification and quality assessment of high nature value (HNV) farmland in the North-West of Ireland.
(2015)
High Nature Value (HNV) farmland is farmland that is managed at low intensity and
which supports a high diversity of flora and fauna. HNV farmland has been
acknowledged as being essential to the conservation of biodiversity ...
Efficiency of Sligo secondary wastewater treatment plants in the removal of Crytospiridium and other human-virulent enteropathogens
(2013)
Most research on wastewater treatment efficiency compliance focuses on physiochemical and microbial indicators; however, very little emphasis has been placed so far on removal efficiencies of human-virulent enteropathogens ...
Management standards : alternative approaches to energy management
(2010)
Due to the interrelationship between the energy and carbon standards, the large
overlap in energy data and increasing pressure on organisations to reduce their
environmental impacts, this dissertation focuses on energy ...
An examination into the feasibility of powering small water services infrastructure using wind energy micro-generation auto-production
(2011)
This study examines the potential for the use renewable energy to meet some or all
of the electricity requirements of small water services infrastructure. In particular the
use of wind powered micro-generation auto-production ...
Assessment and utilisation of Zequanox for zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) control in Irish waters
(2014-10)
Since the first arrival of the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) to Ireland in the early
1990’s, there has been a rapid secondary spread of these highly invasive mussels within
many Irish freshwater systems suitable ...
Best practice in environmental education centres
(2010)
Environmental education (EE) and education for sustainable development (ESD) is
provided in a variety of formal and non-formal settings, including EE and ESD centres.
This provision is uncoordinated due to the lack of a ...
Waste management in Ireland: the potential lessons to be learnt from Europe
(2011)
The management of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in Ireland is currently in a transitional phase. It
is possible that Ireland can capitalise on its late-mover status and emanate European examples.
However as the literature ...
An investigation into side stream technologies as a potential solution for reducing nitrogen emissions from municipal waste waters in the Irish situation
(2010)
This study explicated the requirement to substantially increase the level of nutrient removal
facilities at municipal waste water treatment plants on a national scale. This requirement has
resulted from recently enacted ...
The use of compressive rheology tools to determine the dewatering properties of selected sewage sludges
(2010)
Wastewater treatment produces sludge which is usually dewatered prior to disposal to
reduce disposal costs. This work used compressive rheology tools to accurately measure
the dewatering properties of selected sewage ...
