Programme of necessary measures
Details on measures to meet European Directive standards as well information on how we have implemented other controls to protect our waters can be found in the mechanisms for action document(.PDF 138Kb)
There are a number of plans and programmes that contribute to the management of our waters and act as drivers for change to the water environment. We have put together a register of plans and programmes(.PDF 164Kb) for each draft River Basin Management Plan.
There are other local initiatives and projects that will help us achieve the objectives we have set for our waters. We want to gather information on all activities being carried out to enhance and protect our rivers, lakes and coastal waters, fens, bogs and designated conservation areas.
