Calls for water conservation on Aran Islands ahead of tourist season

Galway Bay fm - Aran Island residents are being urged to conserve water ahead of the busy summer season.

Demand for water supply increases in summer when the islands welcome an influx of tourists.

Irish Water says water shortages could occur across the three Aran Islands this year due to a lack of rainfall over the last number of months.

The utility is searching for a solution to the low levels of raw water on the Aran Islands, most of which is comprised of stored rainwater.
