ABSTRACTCatchment management plans represent the National Rivers Authority's vision for the water environment. With the National Rivers Authority being organized by hydrological regions, the catchment is seen as the natural management unit, and catchment plans offer the means to integrate the Authority's work programme with those of other agencies. Catchment plans summarize relevant data and include an agreed action programme to optimize catchment uses, produced after wide consultation; they complement local authority statutory plans, are current for five to ten years, and will be reviewed regularly during this period. The catchment planning process is seen by the National Rivers Authority as a medium for promoting discussion, resolving conflict, assigning priorities, and setting targets by which progress on key issues can be monitored.

摘要:

ABSTRACTFour studies were carried out at separate locations to investigate the relationship between health effects and low‐contact water sports, and intensive microbiological sampling was conducted in parallel to the health studies at each site. The two sports examined were marathon canoeing and rowing.The extremes of water quality were at the estuarine sites on the River Torridge, where pollution levels varied from a geometric mean faecal coliform value of 62/100 ml at the Appledore/Instow site to 4613/100 ml at the Bideford site.A comparison of ‘exposed’ and ‘unexposed’ groups, 5–7 days after exposure, showed that the health effects of low‐contact water sports are minimal, within the water quality ranges which
