Is your river in good condition?
The
Environment Agency and Natural Resources Wales (NRW) monitor our rivers
to find out what condition they are in. River monitoring happens across
the whole of Europe as part of the EU Water Framework Directive.
The rivers are monitored
for a range of issues, including pollution from chemicals and excess
nutrients, as well as the health of wildlife communities such as plants
and fish. The rivers are rated as high, good, moderate, poor or bad
status. Only rivers that are described as 'good' or 'high' are in a
sustainable and healthy condition; the rest all need a greater level of
protection and management if they are to improve to a good level of
health.
