摘要: The European Water Framework Directive requires the integrated management of point and diffuse pollution to achieve 'good' water quality in 'protected areas'. These include bathing waters, which are regulated using faecal indicator organisms as compliance parameters. Thus, for first time, regulators faced with control fluxes from agricultural sources where these impact on locations. Concurrently, reforms Union (EU) Common Agricultural Policy offer scope supporting on-farm measures producing environmental benefits through new 'single farm payments' concept 'cross-compliance'. This paper reports UK study involving remedial measures, principally stream bank fencing, designed reduce at catchment scale. Considerable reduction flux was observed, but this insufficient ensure either 76/160/EEC standards or health-evidence-based criteria proposed by WHO Commission.
