Abstract:
This report analyses River water quality in the Midlands in 1998, assessing environmental quality over time and grades rivers in terms of both chemical and biological quality, in accordance with the General Quality Assessment (GQA) Scheme. River Quality Objectives (RQOs) have been assigned to all rivers and canals in the region, in accordance with the River
Ecosystem Classification Scheme. The Agency discusses the objective to be applied to each river in its Local Environment Agency Plans (LEAPs). These form an important part of the Agency's water quality planning. Compliance with the RQOs is presented in this report.
