Farming for water

Farming for Water, works directly with farmers to deliver integrated environmental solutions to protect river health and drinking water quality.

Our catchment management programme

Our catchment management programme, Farming for Water, works directly with farmers to deliver a suite of integrated environmental solutions, all with the aim of protecting river health and drinking water quality.

At Severn Trent we’re unique in our approach to catchment and land management, working with over 5,000 farmers to date, we have provided over 1,500 grants.

This has been enabled through relationship-based management - working with agricultural partners, stakeholders, farmers, landowners, estate managers and many others. 

No other water company works with the agricultural community on this scale.  

If you have any questions you can email us.

If you want to check what catchment you are in you can use our interactive map.
