Environmental Water Quality Baseline Survey for Farmers, Landowners and Businesses

Overview

Water Quality Campaign Baseline Survey

The Department of Agriculture, Environment & Rural Affairs (DAERA) is inviting you to take part in a short online survey ahead of a new Water Quality Campaign launching in March.  The survey is designed to help DAERA understand current awareness and knowledge around environmental water quality in Northern Ireland.

The Water Quality Campaign is being led by DAERA, with advice and input being provided  by The Lough Neagh Partnership, the Ulster Farmers Union, Forever Lough Neagh,  NI Water and Northern Ireland Environment Link.

Will the information I give be treated as confidential?

The information you provide will be securely stored and treated as confidential.  The information collected will only be used for data analysis purposes and in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation. The resulting dataset will be made anonymous before any analysis is published.

What is this information used for?  

By sharing your views, you’ll be helping to shape a campaign that supports landowners, farmers, other businesses, communities and everyone who cares about protecting and improving our shared water environment.

Who should complete this survey?

This survey takes around five minutes to complete and should be completed by landowners, farmers and business owners.

Views are also being sought separately from the wider general public across Northern Ireland.
