Significant water management issues www.gov.uk/government/c... consultation response summary from the Environment Agency for England #waterquality #sewagescandal #loverivers #opendata

Better evidence, monitoring and open data are essential

Access to clear, reliable and openly available data was identified as critical for understanding pressures, targeting investment and measuring success.

Respondents called for integrated datasets across sectors, more local monitoring, real-time information and improved communication of scientific evidence.

There was a call for additional datasets and expanded monitoring programmes, particularly in areas where evidence is still emerging.

New data to drive action to improve England's rivers and lakes www.gov.uk/government/n... from the Environment Agency Links to waterbodies classification data for 2025 engageenvironmentagency.uk.engagementhq.com/understandin... #waterquality #biodiversity #defradata #opendata

● Surface water bodies are classified as high, good, moderate, poor or bad, based on elements including aquatic species, temperature and oxygen levels, and the health of physical habitats such as riverbanks. Surface waters also receive a pass or fail for chemical status, covering issues such as legacy chemicals and microplastics.

● All 272 groundwater bodies in England are classified as either good or poor, based on water quantity and pollution levels.

● Classifications are updated every six years. The previous set was published in 2019, meaning this dataset spans 2019 to 2025.
