Funding of €13,792,435.55 was received by theEuropean Union's INTERREG VA Programme, which is managed by the Special EU Programme’s Body. The CatchmentCARE project aimed to improve freshwater quality in the Finn, Blackwater and Arney river catchments through the development of water quality improvement projects. The project also included the installation of fifty boreholes across the region to monitor water quality and provided a platform for cross border engagement and knowledge sharing between community, governance, policy and scientific shareholders.

Speaking about the project, Con McLaughlin, Project Manager commented: "The Partnership is incredibly proud of the success of CatchmentCARE and is looking forward to sharing our experiences with others. This event is a celebration of five years' hard work and dedication, and we hope that it will inspire others to pursue their own innovative ideas and initiatives to improve freshwater quality in their local areas."
