Agricultural Catchments Programme Phase 1 Report
This is the first report of the Agricultural Catchments Programme (ACP) and covers Phase 1, the first four years of the programme (2008-2011). A significant proportion of the programme outputs covered in the report are based on data collected in Phase 1 but were published subsequently in 2012 and early 2013 . The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) has been very supportive of ACP and have funded it from its inception. The DAFM is currently funding Phase 2 (2012-2015).
