Hampshire Water Festival 2012

The Hampshire Water Partnership was formed in 2001 and is composed of a wide range of organisations who are stakeholders in water in Hampshire.

Its main aim is to ensure the long term future of Hampshire’s rivers, aquifers and wetlands for people and wildlife!


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.

The first Hampshire Water Festival took place in August 2003 in Winchester and was a great success with 10,000 visitors.
