Groundwater
The
southern constraints study area is drained by two main rivers
- River Nore, River Barrow and their tributaries. Low-lying
areas prone to flooding should be identified in more detail
during the evaluation of the feasible route options.
The GSI were consulted about the locations of public well
supplies in the constraints study area, and were able to provide
data on wells in County Kilkenny only. These are plotted on
the geotechnical constraints figures. Further detailed investigation
of wells will be necessary at route selection stage wherever
the routes are likely to impact on the groundwater supply.
