Shannon RBD

Source: Shannon RBMP

Many of the surface water in the Shannon RBDs have physically been modified for water supply, recreation, transport, flood protection, hydropower, aquaculture and land drainage.  There are in the RBD around 95 000 culverts and bridges on our rivers, almost 900 kilometres of river embankments, 19 large water reservoir or hydropower dams, 10 large ports and over 200 kilometres of coastal defences.
