Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

Diffusing the Issue is a partnership project that will use CRF funds to improve watercourses in areas of the Ribble Catchment that are intensely farmed. Diffuse pollution, poor habitat and obstructions to fish passage are causing certain watercourses in these areas to fail to meet the required standards under the Water Framework Directive (WFD).
