The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs awarded a contract to Rothamsted Research for the extension of the Demonstration Test Catchments (DTC) programme for three years, continuing research on catchment-scale mitigation of agricultural water pollution.

The contract, valued at AUD 748,456, 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 stakeholder relationships with commercial farms.

A single contract was awarded to a consortium of research groups to achieve a coordinated national approach.
