Grants grants grants!!

Portsmouth Water grants now open!

Applications are now open for the Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) scheme and the Capital Grant Scheme.

These grants are open to farmers within our sensitive catchment areas to tackle rising nitrate levels affecting groundwater abstracted for public water supply and excessive nutrient loading into surface and coastal waters. Our schemes assist farmers (and other land managers) to deliver measures that aim to reduce nitrate leaching and improve farm efficiency.
