South Dublin County Council have cross boundary collaborations on Flood Alleviation Schemes (FAS) with Dublin City Council. South Dublin lead on the Poddle FAS, while Dublin City lead on the Camac FAS. Telemetry is currently in place at two locations in the Poddle in South Dublin.

Discussions are still ongoing with Dublin City Council to increase the number of telemetry units as part of the Poddle FAS and this will be determined if planning is approved for the scheme. It is planned to include new telemetry stations on a third FAS along the Whitechurch Stream should the proposed scheme also proceed through planning. Extra telemetry is planned on the Camac FAS as the scheme proceeds.

South Dublin shares data with neighbouring local authorities for weather / flood warnings and management purposes.
