A new approach for managing Ireland’s natural water assets sees local authorities, state agencies and public bodies collaborating and working with private sector stakeholders and local communities. If we are to deliver water quality improvements and protect high status rivers, “the best of the best”, then the effort must involve all sectors of society. There is a role for everyone, and LAWPRO is here to support. This ambition drives LAWPRO’s Catchments and Communities teams, guiding our collective and individual efforts.

2023 was a year of growth for the Local Authority Waters Programme (LAWPRO) as our core staff numbers increased and we had the addition of our new Farming for Water European Innovation Partnership (EIP) Project Team. While we reflect on changes over the years and prepare for the third cycle River Basin Management Plan (RBMP), we continue to strive to have water quality, community engagement and collaboration at the heart of everything we do.
