Compliance with the Nitrates Directive and Implications for Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)
5:30 pm
Ms Mary Gurrie:
Each stretch has its water quality reported on and, as Dr. Deakin stated, the pressures on it. We might, for example, say that one stretch has no pressures and is fine, while the next stretch might flow past a wastewater treatment plant, agricultural activities or septic tanks. This approach, then, allows us to manage the measures that need to go in to fix that stretch of river.
