Abstract

These Regulations make provision for public support for good agricultural practice to protect waters against pollution from agricultural sources. The aim of the Regulations is to reduce pollution of the environment and especially groundwater and surface water resources by more ecologically sound agricultural practice. The Regulations give further effect to several EU Directives including Directives in relation to protection of waters against pollution from agricultural sources, dangerous substances in water, waste management, protection of groundwater, public participation in policy development and water policy.
