Details of a major project to improve water quality on both sides of the border will be discussed this week at an environmental conference.
The CatchementCare project, funded by the EU to the tune of over €13m, and supported by Stormont and the Republic's government, has improved water quality in three cross-border river catchment areas - Finn, encompassing Co Donegal and Co Tyrone; Blackwater, covering Armagh, Tyrone and Monaghan; and Arney, covering Fermanagh, Leitrim and Cavan.
Improvements were made through the use of installed groundwater monitoring stations, with the help of local councils in each area.
Results from the project will be the focus at the CatchementCare Final Conference at the Villa Rose Hotel in Ballybofey, Co Donegal, on Thursday.
A spokesperson for the event said: "Project stakeholders, experts and practitioners in water quality and catchment restoration will share their achievements and best practice experiences, and will give their insights into the impact the CatchmentCARE project has had in the cross-border region."
