Waterways Ireland Marine Notice
Masters and owners on inland waterways are advised that water levels at present are particularly low for the time of year; however, rain accompanied by a thaw may alter this situation over a short period of time in light of the amount of snowcover on the ground, to the extent that a variety of different water levels and flow rates may be expected on the navigations. This notice is attached below.
