Environment Agency research and analysis on water quality looks at what 3 future environmental land management schemes can achieve by 2027
The Environment Agency has estimated the pollution reductions from voluntary land management and land use change until 2027.
The following future environmental land management schemes are one group of a wider set of schemes expected to contribute to this reduction:
There is uncertainty on the total contribution of the future environmental land management schemes, as they are being piloted, developed and launched throughout the period.
Nationally average pollution reductions do not reflect the high variability in local outcomes.
The level of pollution reduction that can be achieved can be significantly increased by targeting land use change for water quality.
The pollution reductions that are estimated to be achieved by 2027 will not be enough to meet environmental targets.
