Water Quality Monitoring Report: Discussion
Dr. Jenny Deakin:
We know the concentrations are way too high in the catchments in the south and south east. Sometimes, they are twice as high as what they need to be. There will need to be dramatic cuts, particularly in the Slaney and Barrow, in the amount of nitrogen lost from those catchments to get the water quality back to where it needs to be.
