The DVD hosted by Joe Mahon takes viewers on water's journey, from a drop of rain falling on a farm yard roof through the network of sheughs and streams to Lough Neagh. At each step of the journey it looks at ways in which farming can have an impact on our water system. It demonstrates good agricultural practice which reduces pollution and helps farmers to meet forthcoming water quality legislation.

Visitors to the show can follow 'water's journey' at WWF's stand [C16 in the showgrounds] where as well as viewing chapters from the DVD people can see practical demonstrations on water conservation, soil testing and identification of water pollution. Copies of 'Bridging troubled water' are also available for people to take home.

The DVD has been inspired by the ongoing work of the Ballinderry River Enhancement Project. The Cookstown project, run jointly by WWF Northern Ireland and the Ballinderry Fish Hatchery, addresses the issue of diffuse pollution, particularly from agriculture, in rivers and streams. It demonstrates how sensitive land management, education and local engagement can reduce the pressures which agriculture places on water.

"The vast majority of farmers in Northern Ireland do not deliberately pollute water. Nonetheless agriculture remains a major contributor to diffuse pollution in our rivers and lakes. With a little thought and planning there are several ways that farmers can make their farms more 'water friendly'. We hope that the ideas presented in this DVD will help and inspire other farmers to minimise their impact on Northern Ireland's waters," said Alex McGarel, Freshwater Policy Officer, WWF Northern Ireland.

The DVD is divided into five chapters each focusing on different aspects of farming practice such as slurry spreading, silage making, watering livestock and dirty water management.
