MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Dorinnia Carville's report also indicated that measures to tackle agricultural practices partly responsible for water quality issues "have not been effective".
The report examined how the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (Daera) has planned and managed its resources to address issues and meet regulatory requirements.
Four recommendations were made, including development and publication of an overarching water quality improvement strategy by Daera.
It went to to note that the continuing issues were "partly attributable" to agricultural practices which led to excess nutrient or fertiliser accumulating in rivers and lakes.
Most of those incidents were in the River Blackwater area, with farm effluent mixture, silage and cattle waste most frequently detected.
"Better and sustained engagement with stakeholders including the agriculture sector is needed and consideration should be given to enhancing the effectiveness of regulatory and inspection work," she said.
