Surface Water Quality

Surface Water Monitoring

It is the responsibility of Environmental Management to organise and carry out extensive environmental monitoring of the rivers and lakes throughout County Cavan.

In addition to monitoring 120 river stations and 27 lake stations there are also monitoring programmes in place for the following:

  • Discharges from licensed facilities which includes:
    • Discharges to the sewer network.
    • Discharges to waters.

How do I make a complaint about water pollution?

Even though we carry out extensive monitoring, we also depend on the public to provide us with information about any possible water pollution incidents.

If you have a water pollution complaint that you would like to tell us about, please provide details of your complaint at the link below:
