Appendix 1
The following tables provide an overview of
the pressures within each catchment. Adjacent non-catchment coastal
water bodies have been grouped into the nearest land catchment.
Please note that, as one water body may be affected by more than
one pressure, some water bodies may be counted twice in these
tables.

* Failing total iron so could be linked to
mining and quarrying.
** Fish downgrade – missing year class for
salmon and low trout numbers. Will require investigative
monitoring.
*** Phosphorous – so could be sewage.

* The majority of these pressures are
associated with barriers to fish passage (eg in the River Tyne
catchment, 11 of the 12 water bodies within the catchment are
downgraded from good ecological status due to the presence of a
fish barrier low down in the catchment), or from are water bodies
affected by multiple pressures such as straightening/bank
reinforcement.
