3. River Data Multeen Water Management Unit Action Plan OBJECTIVES Restore/Protect 2015 13 water bodies Alternative Objectives Extended Deadlines – 2 water bodies with 2021 deadline New Modifications or Development – none requiring alternative objectives at present. HMWB/AWB - none FUTURE DEVELOPMENT Future Pressures and Developments Throughout the river basin management cycle future pressures and developments will need to be managed to ensure compliance with the objectives of the Water Framework Directive and the Programme of Measures will need to be developed to ensure issues associated with these new pressures are addressed. This table outlines water body information including status and a breakdown of its elements, protected areas, objectives and timescales.
