Watertight: The future of water in Ireland

Ireland has a daily average water usage per person of around 150 litres. With an increasing demand for clean water reserves and talks of imminent water metering and charges, we tackle the big issues around Ireland's water supply.

In partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency we'll examine water in an Irish context and discuss how we manage our nation's most precious resource.  2012 will be a year of change in Irish water.  While the EU/IMF focus on setting up a new utility, the EPA is keen to see water quality and safe drinking water at the heart of the debate

Hosted by Duncan Stewart of Eco Eye, EPA Director Micheal O Cinneide will discuss management, legislation and public participation, followed by an expert panel including Sinead O'Brien of SWAN and Dr. Ciaran Fallon who will discuss possible directions that water resource management will take in Ireland in the future.
