Poulaphouca Water Levels

© Eugene Brennan

This time last year, level was 185.5 m above the datum. Now it's 185 m after having dropped to 184 m in January. Water level increased by nearly a metre in February, either due to no releases or heavy rainfall which caused a net increase. Data on Poulaphouca releases no longer appears to be available.
The "tide" was out yesterday and I managed to make my way by bike from the car park near the turn for Ballymore, around the edge of the lake to pick up the greenway. This isn't always possible because sometimes the water is too close to shore.
