The aim of this book, is to promote a greater understanding of the sources of water that supply these holy wells, including the chemical composition of the different well waters. It is hoped that this will stimulate the reader’s interest in groundwater topics more generally, including the nature and importance of groundwater to society and the potential links between water quality and human health.

Karst, Turloughs and Eskers
By Robert Meehan |
| County Roscommon has a geologically diverse landscape with many places treasured by both natives and visitors. The bedrock foundation, with hundreds of millions of years in its formation and shaping, and the more recent history of geomorphological processes such as limestone solution and scouring by glaciers, are what has created that underlying geodiversity. Geological understanding is best achieved on the ground at sites where the rocks and landforms are well displayed. County Roscommon has a wealth of such natural and human-influenced sites, particularly or karstic and glacial origins. This book explores them in an accessible way for any reader.
