| dc.description | Good water quality is vital to the well-being of our society, economy and
environment. Perhaps most obviously, our rivers and lakes are the sources
of our drinking water. In addition, they are not only essential parts of our
natural environment but also a treasured national asset that communities
and tourists want to enjoy. By protecting our water quality, we will also help
to protect public health. By improving our aquatic environment, we will help
to sustain jobs in water-intensive sectors, such as agri-food and tourism,
sectors that collectively sustain over 400,000 jobs. By preserving these
waters, we will preserve our natural heritage for future generations.
This second River Basin Management Plan
(RBMP) outlines the new approach that Ireland
will take as it works to protect its rivers, lakes,
estuaries and coastal waters over the next four
years. Building on the lessons learned from the
first river basin management planning cycle, the
Government is now planning on the basis that
Ireland is defined as a single River Basin District.
The new Plan uses a much-improved evidence
base to underpin decision-making, at both national
and local levels. This Plan also benefits from a
stronger and more integrated approach to public
consultation and engagement. The Government
is introducing new initiatives and policies to
address many of our water-quality challenges. The
new Plan builds on the measures implemented
during the first planning cycle, but also seeks to
implement supporting measures on a prioritised
basis, where necessary. | en |
