Ms Mary Gurrie:

That is a whole area of work that is being looked at the moment. That is called hydromorphology and includes the whole physical changes to rivers. There is a national hydromorphology work programme under the second cycle plan. The EPA is again working with all the various stakeholders on that and looking at the evidence and then the programme of measures, that is, on what measures are needed to address that. All those different pressures are assessed as part of the risk assessment and then when one gets down to programmes of measures, one starts looking at either national measures or local measures for actions. In some of the prioritised areas, for example, we are looking at what needs to happen in this water body area, whether it is agriculture or others or hydromorphology or physical changes and looking at what needs to happen in that regard.
