Why is water scarcity an issue in Ireland?
Water issues in Ireland are primarily centred around water availability, quality, and sustainable management. Here are some key points regarding water issues in industrial use in Ireland:

However, water scarcity can still be an issue during Summer months with dry periods, particularly in certain regions. Industries often compete with agriculture and domestic users for available water resources. Lack of water can affect industries production gravely.
