Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Water Quality Monitoring Report: Discussion

Ms Mary Gurrie:

A useful starting point might be Article 12 of the Commission's decision, which set out the criteria for an interim review. It set two tests relating to nitrate standards and whether they are increasing over two years, and trophic levels, which are a measure of the nutrification and takes into account the nutrients and the biology. It considers which water bodies were impacted or polluted and whether there was a change between the two years.
