    Agricultural pollution regulations in Wales changes planned

    April 1, 20252 Mins Read


    The Welsh Government’s independently chaired review of the Water Resources (Control of Agricultural Pollution) (Wales) Regulations 2021, led by Dr Susannah Bolton, found that while the regulatory approach was sound, enhancements could benefit both the environment and farmers.

    These enhancements include better targeting of regulations at polluting activities, reducing burdens on low-risk farming, improving clarity for farmers, and addressing regulatory gaps.

    Deputy First Minister, Huw Irranca-Davies, said: “Clean water in our rivers, lakes and seas is vital for us all.

    “We need it for drinking, enjoying the outdoors, and growing food.”

    However, he stressed that the water quality in Wales was still being detrimentally impacted, with agriculture being one of the main contributors.

    He added: “The review agrees with our overall approach to the regulations but also shows ways we can make things better for both farmers and our environment.

    “I plan to put all these recommendations into action.”

    The government has outlined a strategic programme of work to implement the recommendations, which will be announced in the coming weeks.

    Some changes, particularly those making regulations more accessible and clearer, will be implemented quickly.

    However, more complex recommendations requiring scientific and agronomic expertise will take longer to develop.

    Dr Susannah Bolton, who led the review, said: “The engagement I have conducted for this review has demonstrated that there are strongly shared aspirations for improving water quality in Wales.

    “I am genuinely optimistic that the recommended changes to the regulation will enable a greater degree of common agency and shared responsibility to address the challenges.”

    The Welsh Government has already committed significant resources to improving water quality.

    This includes more than £40 million towards a multi-year water quality improvement programme, £16 million for mining remediation, £6 billion of investment agreed with Wales’ two water companies, and £52 million to help farms invest in infrastructure to address agricultural pollution.

    The existing rules will remain in place while the recommendations are taken forward, ensuring that any new rules are fair and reasonable, while continuing to focus on reducing pollution from farming activities.
