Construct livestock crossings for watercourses regularly used by livestock Prevent manure from entering watercourses Reduce losses of faecal indicator organisms (FIOs) to water Reduced faecal indicator organisms (FIOs) in water Improve water quality - biological
Avoid substances with a high BOD entering watercourses Improve surface water quality (chemical) - other
Reduced phosphorus in water Improve surface water quality (chemical) - nutrients
Reduced eutrophication Maintain and enhance biodiversity: Aquatic - reduce nutrient impacts
Reduce losses of nitrogen fertiliser via surface run-off Reduced nitrogen in water Reduced eutrophication Maintain and enhance biodiversity: Aquatic - reduce nutrient impacts
Improve surface water quality (chemical) - nutrients
Vulnerable river banks protected Reduced soil erosion from grassland or grazed fields Reduce sediment load in watercourses Improved spawning grounds for fish Maintain and enhance biodiversity: Aquatic - improve habitat and management
Reduce flooding
Reduced phosphorus in water Improve surface water quality (chemical) - nutrients
Reduced eutrophication Maintain and enhance biodiversity: Aquatic - reduce nutrient impacts
Reduce the deposition of soil and mud on highways adjacent to fields Highways adjacent to fields are more safe Improved road safety
