Have your say on water quality
27.06.07
People in Inishowen are
being urged to have their say about the best way the
peninsula's local rivers, lakes, groundwater,
estuaries and coastal waters should be managed.
The invitation is included in a new report, 'Water
Matters', published in booklet form by the local
authorities in the North Western District including
Donegal, Sligo, Leitrim and Monaghan and the
Department of the Environment, Northern Ireland. |
 |
The report was launched
recently in Lifford by Cllr. Patrick McGowan,
chairperson of the River Basin District’s Advisory
Council. It asks people with an interest in their
own local stretch of water whether a river, lake,
spring or coastline, for suggestions on how to
improve their quality into the future.
Copies of 'Water Matters' are available |
free of charge from the
headquarters of any of the local authorities in the
region. It can also be downloaded from the local
authority websites or from
www.nwirbd.com .
Cllr. McGowan explained: “This booklet sets out the
key issues that affect the quality of water in the
region in a very easy-to-read manner.
"These issues and the measures suggested to manage
our waters, affect us all. Now is your chance to
have your say. If anyone knows of additional
information that should be factored into our future
management plans, we are very eager to hear from
them."
The booklet asks questions and gives details of how
you can comment. You can submit any comments or
observations for the next six months up to December
22nd, 2007.
