Mr. Bill Callanan:

In its reporting, the EPA has identified where the pressures are modelled and coming from. Agriculture is the largest but there are also wastewater, forestry and other impacts that have to be taken into account. That depends on the river catchment that is impacted. In broad terms, the EPA has identified that there are pressures from various sources. That is clear. Agriculture is not the sole pressure in terms of water quality but the evidence highlights that agriculture has a part to play in improving water quality. That is undeniable.
