River Forestry Pressures

Significant pressures have been identified for waterbodies that are At Risk of not meeting their water quality objectives under the Water Framework Directive. While there are a multitude of pressures in every waterbody, the significant pressures are those pressures which need to be addressed in order to improve water quality. Many of our waterbodies have multiple significant pressures. A robust scientific assessment process has been carried out to determine which pressures are the significant pressures. This has incorporated over 140 datasets, a suite of modelling tools, and local knowledge from field and enforcement staff from the Local Authorities, Inland Fisheries Ireland and EPA. Impacts from forestry include nutrient, acidification and sediment pollution, as well as alteration to habitats. Forestry pressures are subcategorised into forestry, drainage, clear felling, planting and establishment stage.

Purpose

Currently used to support the characterisation of waterbodies for the River Basin Management Planning. The identification of significant pressures is a key aspect of and a key dependency for the design of the Monitoring Programme and Programmes of Measures.
