There are a number of rainwater harvesting investments currently available for grant aid in TAMS 3 under the Animal Welfare and Nutrient Storage Scheme, Young Farmer Capital Investment Scheme and Tillage Capital Investment Scheme. Rainwater harvesting investments will also be available under the Women Farmer Capital Investment Scheme which is due to open shortly.
TAMS 3 provides funding for capital investments on farms and will be in place for five years with a budget of €370 million.
