Consultation description

We want to know what you think about our proposed principles to regulate water company discharges. We want to provide reliable water for downstream abstraction without affecting water quality objectives or constraining flexibility in water management.

This follows the UK and Welsh governments December 2013 consultation on abstraction reform proposals. In it we asked for your views on how best to regulate water company discharges.

We have produced a supporting document to provide further information on discharges.

Update: The closing date was amended to 10 October 2014 to give respondents more chance to comment on the discussions.
