NEW Harmonica

Recent reports indicate that 75-90% of the surface water bodies in NW Europe have failed to meet the goal of safe ecological status. There is a huge challenge for the agricultural sectors to implement effective mitigation measures to reduce nutrient emissions. The NEW Harmonica project has been formed with the goal of bringing in complementary knowledge and expertise, skills and networks to reduce nutrient emissions in four catchments: Meuse (Belgium and the Netherlands), Neagh-Bann (N. Ireland), and Wye (England). Within the project, existing models and tools will be applied and tested, Best Management Practices will be evaluated, and governance and policy scenarios will be developed and assessed to achieve multiple desired environmental outcomes in the four catchments.
