Agricultural run-off and human sewage causes of declining water quality

Agricultural run-off and poorly treated human sewage are the main reasons there’s been no improvement in Ireland’s water quality.

Hugh Feeley, Scientific Officer in the Water Management Programme of the EPA, says that nutrient pollution may cause Donegal water to decline in quality.
