Moore Marine Services Ltd was commissioned by Dominic Delany and Associates on behalf of Longford County Council to carry out an underwater impact assessment of a proposed waterworks intake on Lough Kinale, Co. Longford. The assessment took place in September 2009. Water flow at the time of the survey was still and visibility was moderate. The site survey recorded that the vegetation on the shore made it almost impossible to carry out a comprehensive survey. Dense reed growth on the lake prohibited the diving of survey transects and the metal-detection survey.
