Dublin Docklands (Irish: Ceantar Dugaí Átha Cliath) is the area of the city of Dublin, Ireland, on both sides of the River Liffey, roughly from Matt Talbot Bridge eastwards to the Point Depot. It is currently undergoing a large amount of development.
RIVERS AND CANALS
Dublin's municipal authorities used to list around fifty watercourses, and the County authorities more again. The undisputed leader in the Dublin region is the Liffey, followed by major tributary, the Dodder, and by the Tolka. While others carry a fair volume of water, notably the Wad River system, the Mayne, the Santry and the Poddle, some of the other "rivers" are really just streams and the majority are culverted for some or even all of their lengths. In the greater Dublin Strategic Drainage Study, seven of the lesser rivers were considered, with the Tolka added later; the Dodder and Liffey were not included.
