The Water Resources Management in Cooperation with Agriculture – WAgriCo - is a demonstration project in pilot areas showing how cooperation between water resources management and agriculture can be used to reduce diffuse pollution for the sustainable achievement of the environmental objectives for groundwater set out in Article 4 and 7 of the EC Water Framework Directive (WFD).
It is a collaborative project with partnerships in Germany (Lower Saxony) and the United Kingdom. In each country, the partnerships have been established to manage and deliver the project locally. The project is co-funded by the partnerships and by a contribution from the LIFE Financial Instrument of the European Union. Additional co-funding has been made available by Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) in the UK and Niedersachsisches (Nds. MU) in Lower Saxony for their respective country’s partnerships.
The aim of the project is to work in cooperation with, and support, the local farming communities in protecting groundwater quality.
