As climate change continues, flooding will increase around the world

The extensive flooding that affected much of the country in August 2008 damaged roads and much local infrastructure. This section of the N3 which runs from Dublin to Cavan was impassable during the downpours.

Straw

Straw is the stem of the cereal plant left over after the grain has been removed from the cereal crop when it is cut by a combine harvester. Straw is usually collected and compacted for transport in the form of round or square bales. Most straw is bought by livestock farmers for use as winter feed or more commonly as a bedding material to keep animals warm and dry during when indoors on concrete floors. Wheaten straw is used by the mushroom industry to create the growing compost. Straw can also be shredded and left in the field, where it adds value by increasing the organic matter content of the soil.
