The severe drought experienced over the summer, followed by flooding throughout the Autumn, has highlighted the importance of managing water on agricultural land to ensure farm productivity. The Ouse and Adur Rivers Trust have been working on a two year project on the Bevern Stream and Longford Stream, looking at making the rivers and surrounding agricultural land more resilient to drought. They will present their findings, alongside the Catchment Sensitive Farming Officer, to demonstrate how you can make your farm more resilient to drought, help improve water quality in the catchment, and what funding might be available to help with this
