Introduction to the Solway area management
plan
This plan has been produced to help focus our
attention on the condition of the water environment in the North
Solway area, and on what we need to do to maintain and improve
it.
It is important that the water environment in
the North Solway is in good condition. We can then enjoy clean
bathing beaches, healthy salmon rivers, fresh water for us to drink
and ample water for industry and farming to use. Not all of the
water environment in the area currently meets these requirements.
This plan describes how it will be improved.
There are three parts to this plan:
- the area management plan (this
document);
- catchment summaries, which provide more
detail on the pressures and condition of each catchment;
- the action plan, which contains information
on the area advisory group, projects and individual actions that
will help deliver this plan.
Everyone has a part to play in helping to
protect and improve the water environment and we will all share in
the benefits. If you would like to contribute to this plan and help
our water environment then we would like to hear from you at:
