Major partners

The Foundation has received generous and vital support from a range of organisations in our efforts to resolve the problems of the two rivers. This has been both in the form of funding and by way of expertise.

Our achievements could not have been possible without this support and we are especially grateful to the following organisations.

Dwr Cymru Welsh Water

Expand

Dwr Cymru Welsh Water has become one of the strongest supporters of the Foundation's work. Both organisations share a common interest - clean water in rivers. This has led to several partnership projects mainly to tackle the issue of water quality and quantity, but also other areas such as restoring the ecology in the river Elan.

Dwr Cymru Welsh Water is owned by Glas Cymru, a single purpose company with no shareholders and is run solely for the benefit of customers. Read more about the company here.

European Union

Expand

Many of our projects have been built with European funds. Our ISAC project in the Irfon, for instance, was financed by the EU's Life+ Fund. Our current DNMP project is financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), as was our pHish project which, among other things, was our first attempt to remedy the effects of acid rain in the Wye's headwaters. ERDF funding was also instrumental for our first major project on the Usk - UP!

In addition to the funding, European environmental legislation underpins much of the Foundation's work, particularly the Habitats Directive and Water Framework Directive.
