​​Water is a precious resource, particularly on an Island with a finite supply. Everyone has an important part to play in safeguarding this resource for human use and protecting the important aquatic habitats and species which depend on it.

In 2013, the Department of the Environment commissioned Atkins Ltd to undertake an Integrated Water Management Plan, so that the States of Jersey can better plan and manage the Island's water resources and the important ecosystems which rely on it.

This report is part of the water management planning process. It sets out the current status of the water environment and the key pressures acting upon this important resource. 

It's the first in a two part series; the Integrated Water Management Plan will follow in 2015.
