Protecting our rivers – information for landowners
The Environment Agency has released a leaflet to help landowners whose land borders watercourses. It contains information to help them to carry out their responsibilities in line with environmental law that protects watercourse habitat and aquatic species. It contains headline details of sustainable watercourse management, causes of harm to rivers, work that needs EA permission and consequences of mismanagement.

From the The Wye and Usk Foundation:
The levels of phosphate in the rivers and streams is still higher than it should be and we are working hard to support local farmers to reduce losses from agriculture – which is now identified as the sector having the greatest levels of phosphate impacting on our rivers. We are able to provide free confidential farm advice for any yard or land management challenges you may be facing.
We can provide soil structure assessments, OM testing, yard advice, stewardship advice… the list goes on!
