Local and national media have been invited to attend a significant meeting discussing the groundbreaking ‘Hydrocurtain’ project implemented at Galway’s Eglinton Canal. The initiative proposed by Cllr. Frank Fahy as Chair of Lough Corrib Navigation Trustees has garnered attention for its remarkable success in addressing rubbish accumulation in the canal.
Cllr Fahy will meet with a delegation from the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise on April 11, 2024, at 1pm. The Swedish delegation, comprising 13 sustainability and infrastructure experts, expressed keen interest in witnessing the Hydrocurtain firsthand during their visit to Ireland.
The Hydrocurtain is a cutting-edge technology aimed at tackling rubbish accumulation in waterways. It functions as an interception device, effectively capturing floating debris particularly plastics, preventing it from entering the sea. This innovative solution demonstrates Galway’s commitment to environmental sustainability and sets a precedent for similar initiatives globally.
The Hydrocurtain, the first of its kind in Ireland is an innovative solution designed to intercept and collect floating debris, marks a milestone in environmental conservation efforts for Galway.
Its success highlights Lough Corrib Navigation Trustees commitment to sustainable practices and underscores the potential for similar initiatives worldwide.
