The European Water Framework Directive

摘要

The venue at the Dryfesdale Hotel was appropriate for our subject: the views from the windows being across the valley of upper Annandale to the Forest of Ae mantling the hills beyond. This wonderful view combined many of the environmental features tobe discussed, a visual reminder of the need to maintain and enhance our environmental integrity. William Crawford, the RSFS Regional Chairman and chairman for the day, gave a brief introduction to the wordy EU directive and hoped that by the end of the day we would all have made some sense of the WFD, which he commended, as having highly desirable aims: a healthy water environment and clean water.
