| Project Abstract | The main aim of this project is to comprehensively research, identify and map the location of all relevant water-research and monitoring infrastructure around Ireland, including Northern Ireland. The results will be collated and an extensive database and online inventory will be created which will present the study findings and mapping results in a clear and easy to use format. The catalogue database will contain all relevant information on the available infrastructure including their purpose, facilities and equipment, ownership, access, connectivity, and associated costs etc. A sustainable maintenance solution of the database will also be considered and a plan for post project maintenance will be outlined. Based on the study findings and gap analysis a roadmap outlining recommendations how best to develop a smarter water-research infrastructure in Ireland will be developed. |
