BLUEPRINT FOR WATER CAMPAIGN

That this House welcomes the publication of visionary blueprint for water by a wide-ranging coalition of organisations representing more than six million people, and comprising the Anglers' Conservation Association, the Association of Rivers Trusts, the Fisheries and Angling Conservation Trust, the National Trust, the RSPB, the Salmon and Trout Association, Waterwise, the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, The Wildlife Trusts and WWF; notes that this vision includes measures to ensure that, by 2015, less water is wasted, rivers are kept flowing and wetlands wet, water is fairly priced, polluters pay, pollutants do not contaminate water, sewage is kept out of homes and rivers and off beaches, water-friendly farming is supported, drainage from roads and buildings is cleaned up, rivers are restored from their sources to the sea, and water is retained in floodplains and wetlands; believes that, if met, the challenges and targets within this blueprint will be key factors in helping the Government to implement the EC Water Framework Directive successfully in England and Wales; welcomes the blueprint's broad vision for water policy; and calls on the Government to take action to implement the programme for water management it sets out.
