The Water Innovation Research Centre (WIRC) is part of ESHI. The WIRC seeks to reduce the influence of poor water quality on public health by identifying specific areas of threat, by developing technologies for detecting, assessing, and minimizing the levels of biological and chemical pollutants in drinking water supplies, and by developing novel water monitoring, hygiene, and water treatment systems.

The WIRC will be based in a new state-of-the-art research facility at our Grangegorman Campus. The water group brings together researchers in TU Dublin from a wide range of disciplines to undertake research on water-related issues.
