Why do all water bodies have a chemical status of fail?
Investigations into classification status No data to show
Reasons for not achieving good (RNAG) and reasons for deterioration (RFD) All reasons (RFDs and RNAGs) attributed to the classification elements in
this water body.
Reason Type SWMI Activity Category Classification Element More information RNAG Invasive non-native species Other plants No sector responsible Macrophytes and Phytobenthos Combined Details RNAG measures delivered to address reason, awaiting recovery Not applicable No sector responsible Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) Details RNAG Invasive non-native species Other plants No sector responsible Fish Details RNAG measures delivered to address reason, awaiting recovery Not applicable No sector responsible Mercury and Its Compounds Details
Reasons for not achieving good status by business sector The issues preventing waters reaching good status and the sectors
identified as contributing to them. The numbers in the table are
individual counts of the reasons for not achieving good status with a
confidence status of 'confirmed' and 'probable', where the latest
classification is less than good status. There may be more than one
reason in a single water body. Note, table does not include reasons for
deterioration.
