Dublin Urban Rivers Life

In this video SDCC’s Mayor and DLRCC’s An Cathaoirleach introduce the Dublin Urban Rivers LIFE (DURL) project which aims to improve water quality and aquatic biodiversity in urban areas by finding domestic misconnections and by building wetlands in public parks to treat and improve water quality.

The DURL animated video explains what a misconnection is, the impact of misconnections on the animal and plant life in our urban rivers and how to fix them. The video also provides an insight into how Integrated Constructed Wetlands (ICWs) improve water quality and benefit the health and biodiversity of our local rivers.
