What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

NI Water is utilizing its Sustainable Catchment Area Management Programme (SCaMP NI) to improve water quality in Northern Ireland's drinking water catchments. The program employs nature-based measures, including peatland restoration, drain blocking, and re-wetting degraded bogs, to enhance land management across these areas. These interventions help slow water flow and reduce the amount of sediment and color entering reservoirs.
