There are many causes of contamination, leaking oil storage tanks, tanker accidents on bridges, boat tanks leaking, oils refinery spills during loading and unloading and even joyriders driving cars into resevoirs.
All these incidents have happened in Ireland over the last few years.
Early warning of leaks and spills can prevent contamination and protect the environment and water treatment plant from permanent damage.
The OilSpy System has been used since 1998 to minimise damage to rivers and protect drinking water from the effects of these incidents.
