Water quality in our rivers, lakes, groundwater, and coastal waters have deteriorated in recent years. We need urgent action to halt this decline and reverse the damage. This meeting is about how we can protect and restore good water quality and how that will benefit healthy communities.
On Monday 27th September 2021, the Draft River Basin Management Plan for Ireland was published for public consultation until March 2022.Protecting and restoring good water quality are two core aims of this plan. LAWPRO are asking for your views and comments on what needs to happen for the next six-years that can make a difference for water quality, nature, climate, and local communities.
