Irish Water has published a leaflet for farmers on how to conserve and protect water on their farms.

The firm launched the 'Water Conservation and Projection Advisory Leaflet' at the National Ploughing Championships in Tullamore.

Mark Macaulay, Water Supply Strategy Lead at Irish Water said: "Irish Water is delighted to be at the National Ploughing Championships as it gives us the opportunity to meet so many farming families. While some farmers have their own water sources, many are customers of Irish Water and we are pleased to be able to provide practical advice and information on water conservation and protection that can be used by all. Many of recommendations are common sense that many farm families will already be implementing but often with the pressure of every day farming it is easy to overlook some practical measures that can make all the difference, saving money and protecting crops, livestock and communities."
