We need you to act. Please write to your MP and demand we keep and enforce the Farming Rules for Water to help protect our rivers and their wildlife.
Baseline regulations designed to protect rivers from the impacts of farming are at threat.
Farming Rules for Water
These were brought into effect in 2018 at a time when the European Commission was threatening to take the UK to the European Court over its failure to deal with diffuse agricultural pollution and protect rivers.
Land Management Schemes
These schemes were introduced to replace the old single farm payments and pay farmers to deliver good environmental outcomes such as clean rivers.
