I-Irish Water Resources kunye neClean Coast Organisation ibongoza abantu baseIreland ukuba baqhubeke “becinga phambi kokugungxulwa” kuba uphando lwakutsha nje lubonise ukuba phantse isigidi esi-1 sabantu abadala bahlala begungxula izinto zokucoca ezimanzi kunye nezinye iimveliso zococeko phantsi kwindlu yangasese.
Njengoko ukuqubha kwamanzi olwandle kunye nokusetyenziswa kolwandle kuya kuthandwa ngakumbi, oku kusikhumbuza kwangethuba ukuba indlela yethu yokuziphatha egungxulwayo inefuthe elithe ngqo kwindalo esingqongileyo, kwaye ukwenza utshintsho oluncinci kunokunceda ukukhusela iilwandle zaseIreland ezinesanti, unxweme olunamatye kunye neelwandle ezifihlakeleyo Bay.
Ngo-2018, uphando lwethu lusixelele ukuba i-36% yabantu abahlala eIreland bahlala bekhupha izinto ezingalunganga kwindlu yangasese. Sibambisene neeCoce Coasts kwiphulo elithi "Cinga Ngaphambi kokuba Ugungxule" kwaye senze inkqubela phambili kuba kulo nyaka i-24% yabaphenduli kuphando bavumile ukwenza njalo.
“Nangona olu phuculo lwamkelekile, i-24% imele abantu abamalunga nesigidi esinye. Impembelelo yokugungxula into engalunganga kwindlu yangasese icacile kuba sisasusa amawaka ee-blockages kwinethiwekhi yethu rhoqo ngenyanga Izinto.
“Ukususa imiqobo kunokuba ngumsebenzi ocaphukisayo,” uqhubeke watsho. “Ngamanye amaxesha, abasebenzi kuye kufuneke bangene kumjelo ophantsi komhlaba ohambisa amanzi amdaka basebenzise umhlakulo ukucoca umqobo. Ukutshiza kunye nezixhobo zokufunxa zingasetyenziselwa ukususa ezinye izithintelo.
“Ndibone abasebenzi kufuneka bacocwe ukuvaleka kwempompo ngesandla ukuze baphinde baqale impompo kwaye babaleke ngexesha ukuthintela ukuchitheka kwelindle kwindawo esingqongileyo.
“Umyalezo wethu ulula, ziiPs ezi-3 kuphela (umchamo, indle kunye nephepha) ekufuneka zikhutshelwe kwindlu yangasese. Zonke ezinye izinto, kubandakanywa nokucima okumanzi kunye nezinye iimveliso zococeko, nokuba zibhalwe ngeleyibhile enokuhlanjwa, kufuneka zifakwe kwinkunkuma. Oku kuya kunciphisa inani lemijelo ephantsi komhlaba ehambisa amanzi amdaka evalekileyo, umngcipheko wokugutyungelwa zizikhukula kwamakhaya namashishini, kunye nobungozi bokungcoliseka kwendalo okubangela umonakalo kwizilwanyana zasendle ezifana neentlanzi neentaka kunye neendawo zokuhlala ezinxulumene noko.
“Sonke siyibonile imifanekiso yeentaka zaselwandle ezichatshazelwa bubutyobo baselwandle, kwaye sonke singadlala indima ekukhuseleni iilwandle zethu, iilwandlekazi kunye nezilwanyana zaselwandle. Utshintsho oluncinci kwindlela yethu yokuhlamba iimpahla lunokwenza umahluko omkhulu-ukubeka izinto zokusula ezimanzi, iintonga zomqhaphu zeBud kunye neemveliso zococeko zibekwe kumgqomo wenkunkuma, hayi kwindlu yangasese.
“Sisusa iitoni zezosuli ezimanzi kunye nezinye izinto kwizikrini zomzi-mveliso wokucocwa kwamanzi amdaka e-Offaly rhoqo ngenyanga. Ukongeza koku, sikwasusa amakhulu ezithintelo kuthungelwano lwamanzi amdaka edolophu minyaka le.”
