Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is calling for people with an interest in the health of Wales’ water environment to participate in the first of a series of consultations about future plans to protect and improve water across Wales.

River Basin Management Plans are updated every six years, and set the direction for how NRW will manage, protect and improve Wales’s rivers, lakes, canals, groundwaters, estuaries and coastal waters.

The first consultation is open now and will run until December 20. It focusses on setting out the planning process and identifying people, groups and organisations who wish to participate in the development of the next River Basin Management plans.
