A "Good Management Practice" approach "doesn't reflect the complexities of varies soils, weather, land use and farming practices that ultimately determine the health of waterways".
"Being responsible for the health of local waterways, instead of ticking GMP boxes, will get landowners to focus on doing what is most likely to improve the waterway. This will create a positive environment that motivates everyone to play their part and will give farmers greater control over their own destiny."
