The Earnscleugh water plan: a case study of a successful grant application

Abstract

Successive governments have made funding available for rural communities. Currently funding can be sourced from a number of government agencies. Tony Lepper in his role as Manager of EIC Ltd has successfully applied for two separate water study grants from the Water Studies Fund established by AGMARDT and the Government. This programme has a two-stage selection process that is very similar to the process adopted for the recently announced Sustainable Farming Fund.
