Have your say on water: consultation on the draft River Basin Management Plans

Draft River Basin Management Plans have been put together for the 11 river basin districts in England and Wales under the European Water Framework Directive.

The proposals in these draft plans may affect you, your business or your environmental interests, and we want to know what you think.

This consultation runs from 22 December 2008 until 22 June 2009. It would be extremely helpful if you could provide comments as soon as possible within the consultation period.

The draft River Basin Management Plans describe the main issues for each river basin district and highlights some key actions proposed for dealing with them. The annexes to the document give more detail on the conditions in the river basin district, the actions proposed and the mechanisms we can use to take forward these actions.

You can help creating effective and achievable river basin management plans by responding to this consultation, and providing any other suggestions or comments.
