Targeting Agricultural Measures

Where agricultural measures are needed to restore water quality, the Subbasin are highlighted with one or more coloured flags to indicate the types of water quality issues associated with that Subbasin: Red (potential point source), Orange (nitrate losses) and/or Navy (phosphorus/sediment losses).

Purpose

A 'Coloured Flag' system has been developed to support targeting agricultural measures to get the right measure in the right place. The 2023 outputs for all Subbasins incorporate key national datasets and assign flags to indicate the potential water quality issues to focus on.

Where agricultural measures are needed to restore water quality, one or more coloured flags indicate the types of water quality issues associated with that Subbasin:

• Red (potential point source), Orange (nitrate losses) and/or Navy (phosphorus/sediment losses).

• The White Flag indicates Subbasins where agriculture is not identified as a significant pressure and measures to 'Protect' water quality are appropriate.

These flags indicate potential impacts arising from agricultural to facilitate targeting actions and should be combined with local knowledge and evidence. These will be reviewed annually.
