Laois - Kilkenny Reinforcement Project Environmental Reports Route Corridor Assessment Report � Hydrology and Hydrogeology
This section provides an assessment of the potential route corridors within the study area
for the proposed Laois Kilkenny Reinforcement Project. The purpose of this assessment is
to recommend the route corridor that will have the least potential environmental impacts in
terms of the water environment (hydrology and hydrogeology). A previous report (Study
Area Constraints Report, Hydrology & Hydrogeology, AOS Planning Ltd. October 2010)
identified the most significant constraints within the study area and the associated potential
