The Ribble drainage basin is the single UK sentinel study area chosen for examining the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD 20/60/EC) and 'catchment-derived' fluxes of faecal indicators originating from both point and diffuse sources are quantified to inform the competent authorities on the potential for, and prioritization of, further options for reducing the faecic indicator loadings to this crucial coastal environment.
