In early October we visited Co. Monaghan to meet with representatives from the Local Authority Waters Programme (LAWPRO). After our interview, we explored some of the county, visiting the Ballymun Wetland Centre, the Stranooden Group Water Scheme treatment facility, an interlocutor with the National Federation of Group Water Schemes (NFGWS), and the site of a recent landslide. We are learning to read the landscape in new and different ways, to see things that might impact water quality and pose challenges to source protection.
