Water Framework Directive

 

This is the most far-reaching piece of European legislation to affect the water environment. 

It will benefit us by giving further protection to our waters, but we will have to play our part by modifying some of our practices, and this may increase costs and add to project planning times. 

We must be actively involved in implementation to ensure the social and economic value of our activities is recognised.
