About

DEPARTMENT FOR ENVIRONMENT, FOOD & RURAL AFFAIRS awarded a contract to Lancaster University for the extension of the Demonstration Test Catchments (DTC) programme for 3 years, continuing research on catchment-scale mitigation of agricultural water pollution.

The contract, valued at AUD 642,000, ensures consistency from Phase 1 (2009-2015) to Phase 2 (2015-2017) and supports the evaluation of mitigation measures installed through the DTC-Measures project (2012-2017).

Work will take place in the Eden, Wensum, Avon, and Tamar catchments, maintaining continuity of data collection and good working relationships with farmers and local stakeholders.

A single contract was awarded to a consortium led by Lancaster University to cover the four catchments with a coordinated approach.
