In mid-October, we joined the International Association of Hydrogeologists’s (IAH) annual fieldtrip, this year held in Co. Roscommon. On a very wet and cold Saturday, we travelled parts of Co. Roscommon to learn about different karst features and the challenges they pose to efforts to trace and protect groundwater. As part of the trip, we visited Mid-Roscommon GWS and one of their water sources, Ogulla Springs. We also entered a cave, surveyed a swallow hole, and spent time looking at cores with members of the GSI and the IAH community.
