Future Work/Research• Requirement:
– Increased use: Harvest2020
– Increased regulation/implementation
– More specific/relevant maps/data
• Griffith Research: – Clean water supplies and
groundwater protection (QUB);
– Marine & Karst Groundwater Mapping (NUIG);
– Geogenic Metals in Groundwater (NUIG)
• Geoscience Research:– Karst mapping
