AIM OF THE PROJECT

The aim of the Tarland Catchment Initiative (TCI) is to advise and implement an objective strategy for the sustainable use of the catchment and to improve the quality of the catchment's water resources, their adjacent banks and the habitats that they can support. The initial focus of the TCI is to reduce the impact of high concentrations of suspended soil sediments and coliform bacteria in the selected streams and to improve the diversity of the catchments habitats.
