Roghnaigh contae chun an t-eolas atá uait a fheiceáil/íoslódáil .
Go stairiúil, bhí bainistiú priacal tuile dírithe ar dhraenáil artaireach um fheabhsú talmhaíochta. Mar gheall ar an méadú ar phriacal tuile, in 1995 leasaíodh an tAcht um Dhraenáil Artaireach 1945; thug an leasú seo cead d’Oifig na nOibreacha Poiblí (OPW) scéimeanna áitiúla um fhaoiseamh tuile a fheidhmiú, chun cosaint ó thuilte a chur ar fáil i gcathracha, bailte móra agus sráidbhailte.
Tá roinnt scéimeanna curtha i gcrích ag na hÚdaráis Áitiúla, ag baint feidhm as a gcumhachtaí féin faoin reachtaíocht Pleanála agus Forbartha. Oibríonn OPW i gcomhpháirt leis na hÚdaráis Áitiúla cuí nó maoinítear na hÚdaráis Áitiúla go díreach chun oibreacha um fhaoiseamh tuile a dhéanamh.

Thosaigh OPW an Scéim Mionoibreacha um Maolú Tuile agus Cosaint Chósta in 2009. Is aidhm don scéim maoiniú a sholáthar chuig Údaráis Áitiúla, chun mionoibreacha um maolú tuile a thionscnamh nó staidéir a dhéanamh chun aghaidh a thabhairt ar fhadhbanna tuile agus cosaint chósta laistigh dá gceantair riaracháin féin. De ghnáth, tá feidhm leis an scéim sa chás gur féidir réiteach a aimsiú agus a fheidhmiú laistigh de ghearrthréimhse ama.
Faoin scéim, breathnaítear iarratais ar thionscadail a mheastar ar chostas nach mó ná €750,000 i ngach cás. Tá maoiniú suas chuig 90% den chostas ar fáil le haghaidh tionscadail faofa. Is ceist do gach Údarás Áitiúil féin oibreacha um a bhfuil maoiniú faofa a thosú agus a chur chun cinn.

| Kilkenny County Council | Callan (IPP) | The flooding occurred at the three following locations; Kcat Carpark/Keoghs Lane, Bridge Street, and Fennelly’s Café which will require three separate mechanisms for each location. Kilkenny County Council propose to adopt ‘option 2’ detailed in Kilgallens report which will involve implementing a new pumping facility at Kcat Carpark and construct a 900mm diameter overflow pipe. For Bridge Street KCC propose to install a chamber at the lowest point of the surface water drainage system that will permit the use of an emergency pump by Local Authority staff. Surcharging water will be pumped from this chamber to the King’s River; KCC also propose to install IPP for the 8 properties effected. In relation to Fennelly’s café the primary cause of flood risk is the back-up from King’s River when water levels are high. KCC are to address by the installation of a chamber on the existing gravity outfall pipe in the open space adjoining the river, with a flap valve on the inlet pipe to this chamber, thus preventing back flow from King’s River. | 124,540 | 2024 |

Tá freagracht reachtúil ar OPW clár cothabhála um Dhraenáil Artaireach a reachtáil agus déantar é sin. Baineann na hoibreacha cothabhála seo le scéimeanna um dhraenáil artaireach críochnaithe ag OPW faoin Acht um Dhraenáil Artaireach 1945; bá é feabhsú talmhaíochta príomaidhm na scéimeanna sin. Tá na hÚdaráis Áitiúla freagrach as cothabháil ar Cheantair Dhraenála, a críochnaíodh suas chuig 1943.
Faoi Chlár Oibreacha Cothabhála OPW um Dhraenáil Artaireach, tugtar cosaint do 260,000 heicteár (650,000 acra) de thailte talmhaíochta; cuimsíonn sé 11,500km (7,150 míle) de chainéil abhann agus thart faoi 800km (500 míle) de chlaífoirt.

Leagtar amach sa tábla seo a leanas na pobail sa chontae seo atá clúdaithe ag na Pleananna Bainistíochta Riosca Tuilte a seoladh i mí na Bealtaine 2018 agus tugann sé léiriú ar na scéimeanna faoisimh tuilte atá molta sna Pleananna do na pobail seo. Ba chóir a thabhairt faoi deara go soláthraíonn an tábla seo an seasamh ó mhí na Bealtaine 2018 agus d’fhéadfadh stádas roinnt scéimeanna a bheith athraithe ó shin i leith. Léireofar aon athruithe in áit eile san achoimre chontae. Tugtar léiriú ar na scéimeanna um fhaoiseamh tuile atá molta ins na pleananna le haghaidh na bpobal seo. Maidir le roinnt cásanna, léirítear scéim um fhaoiseamh tuile atá inmharthana go teicniúil; beidh gá le measúnú níos mionsonraithe ar chostais agus sochair chun a chinneadh an bhfuil an scéim atá molta indéanta. Maidir le pobail eile, tá priacal íseal tuile ó aibhneacha agus/nó an fharraige agus níl bearta struchtúrtha um fhaoiseamh tuile molta um an dtaca seo. Déanfar athbhreithniú ar an leibhéal reatha priacail ar bhonn rialta amach anseo, gach ceantar san áireamh. I dteannta le feidhmiú na scéimeanna um fhaoiseamh tuile atá molta, beidh maoiniú ar fáil ar bhonn leanúnach le haghaidh tionscadail áitiúla faoin Scéim Mionoibreacha. Leagtar amach freisin ins na pleananna na bearta neamhstruchtúrtha sin atá i bhfeidhm nó atá molta, mar shampla Réamhaisnéis Thuile, a théann chun sochair gach pobal agus réadmhaoin atá faoi phriacal. Leanfaidh an Grúpa Idir-Rannach um Chomhordú Pholasaí Tuile lena chuid oibre anois, agus an saibhreas eolais atá ins na Pleananna mar bhonn eolais acu; tabharfar chun cinn moltaí indéanta breise lena gcur faoi bhráid an Rialtais, mar thacú agus mar chabhair ag teaghlaigh agus ag pobail trí bhearta neamhstruchtúrtha um bainistiú agus maolú priacal tuile.
