These document the learning and insights gained over five years (2018-2022) of the Source to Tap project. These resources outline our approach to sustainable, cost-effective, catchment management which was designed to protect source drinking water catchments.
Source to Tap is a watershed moment in drinking water protection. Through the learning gained on peatland restoration, forestry management, agricultural land use improvements and education, we have embarked on a journey. Read More
