Hampshire Water Partnership

Hampshire is blessed with a rich and diverse variety of rivers and wetlands, many of which are of international importance. Yet there is concern over the substantial and increasing pressures that are being placed on Hampshire' s water environment. Such pressures include new development, climate change, and domestic consumption.

The Hampshire Water Partnership was established in 1999 to foster increased understanding and knowledge-sharing about Hampshire’s water environments and the issues facing rivers, wetlands and aquifers.  It comprises private, public and voluntary bodies who have a role or interest in the sustainable management of this unique water environment. The Partnership has no executive powers, but provides a forum for closer working relationships, information dissemination, and discussion on topical issues.
