Water for life and livelihoods: River Basin Management Plans
Water in rivers, estuaries, coasts and aquifers will improve under measures set out in River Basin Management Plans, draw
n up for river basin districts across England and Wales under the Water Framework Directive.
River Basin Management Plans are plans for protecting and improving the water environment and have been developed in consultation with organisations and individuals. They contain the main issues for the water environment and the actions we all need to take to deal with them. Everyone uses water in their daily lives, whether for recreational activities, industry, agriculture or as a water consumer.
The River Basin Management Plans have been approved by the Secretary of State for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Welsh Minister.
