To contribute, as part of a multidisciplinary team, to provide the scientific evidence to support Irish agriculture in meeting the requirements of the Water Framework Directive which requires Ireland to attain and sustain at least good status for all our water.

A particular emphasis will be on:

Assessment of the mitigation actions proposed in this phase of the programme on the biology of the monitored catchments.
Build on the existing data set with additional experimentation/ data collection such as:
Higher spatial resolution (e.g. upstream downstream of mitigation measure),
Higher temporal resolution (seasonal change in ecological community), or
Event sampling (e.g. impact of drought/storm events on ecological community).
Interpreting ACP ecological data in the context of larger ecological dataset (e.g. EPA data).
Producing policyrelevant peerreviewed scientific papers using existing and new data and disseminating the results to a wide audience
Improving understanding on the processes of nutrient and sediment (or any other contaminant) loss to water in the agricultural landscape and the impacts on stream ecology.
Collaborate with other concurrent projects and programmes such as ASSAP, WaterEIP, SENSUS, AgriBirds and Measure4Water and associated partners.
