Ms Laura Burke:

Absolutely. On a positive note, we did get resources to look much more at the science and water quality in each catchment. We have done an enormous amount of work on that and engaged with local authorities. Local authorities now have the local authority water catchment offices, LAWCOs, of which there are three in the country and that links back to the three plans the Chairman mentioned. LAWCOs examine what actions can happen at local authority level to improve water quality because agriculture and wastewater treatment tend to be two of the big issues, along with nitrogen and phosphorous, and there are things that can be done at local level.
