The Water Framework Directive (WFD) encourages active involvement during its implementation, although no specific participatory methods are suggested, whilst implementing the target-oriented Directive will require detailed agri-environmental data at catchment and farm level. The paper is a case study of the Danish AGWAplan project, which actively involved farmers in the selection of measures to reduce diffuse nutrient pollution at farm and catchment level, thereby providing an example of how active involvement might be operationalised. Active involvement has been identified as being of central importance to the success of the WFD. The project also entailed the accumulation of extensive agri-environmental data. The aim of the paper is to evaluate AGWAplan to establish the extent to which its expected objectives have been achieved and how, and to determine whether the project approach might facilitate WFD goals if implemented in forthcoming river basin management plans (RBMPs). AGWAplan resulted in advantageous outcomes, including win-win solutions to reduce nutrient leaching and greater acceptance of policy, although the original reduction targets where not fully reached. The paper concludes that actively involving farmers in a similar manner in RBMPs may make an important contribution to the implementation of the WFD, although caveats regarding its potential for transfer to other areas are identified.
《水框架指令》（WFD）鼓励在实施过程中积极参与，尽管没有具体提出参与方法，而实施目标导向指令将需要在集水区和农场层面获得详细的农业环境数据。本文是丹麦 AGWAplan 项目的案例研究，该项目积极让农民参与选择在农场和集水区减少面源养分污染的措施，从而为如何实施积极参与提供了范例。积极参与被认为是 WFD 成功的核心要素。该项目还积累了广泛的农业环境数据。本文的目的是评估 AGWAplan，以确定其预期目标的实现程度和方式，并确定如果在即将到来的河流流域管理计划（RBMP）中实施该项目方法是否有助于实现 WFD 目标。AGWAplan 取得了有利的成果，包括减少养分淋溶的双赢解决方案和对政策的更大接受度，尽管最初的减排目标没有完全实现。本文得出结论，以类似的方式让农民积极参与 RBMP 可能会对 WFD 的实施做出重要贡献，尽管也指出了其在向其他领域转移方面的潜在问题。
