Episode Details

Ireland’s water crisis is heating up as the Bohernabreena reservoir, serving 35,000 people, shows cracked mud banks while still holding steady thanks to connected networks. With a two-week dry spell looming and heat alerts across Leinster and Tipperary, river flows—including the Slaney at just 29% of normal—are plummeting, impacting farmers hard.

Uisce Éireann urges conservation, with hosepipe bans and night-time restrictions still in place until August 26th—putting pressure on both urban users and rural food producers.
