Community-owned group water schemes, working with farmers, have shown the way ahead for the protection of drinking water sources, biodiversity, sustainability, and climate action.
The efforts of the National Federation of Group Water Schemes were recognised in the recent Cogeca European Award for Co-operative Innovation, where the Federation's pilot project was a finalist.
