20 May 2011: Year 2 Conference: Progress and next steps in the Wensum catchment

Around 60 members of the Wensum Alliance attended the year 2 conference to hear about the progress that has been made in the past year. The conference featured presentations on the various DTC components and an afternoon workshop session focused on the type of information/data format that stakeholders would like to see made available from the project, including through this website; the types of measures that might be implementated in the catchment to reduce diffuse pollution and what indicators could be used to assess successful outcomes.
