Consider the management plan for Carlingford Lough on the island of Ireland. Carlingford is a sea

lough or estuary, which has had historical problems with discharges of pig slurry.

This catchment includes the area drained by the Newry, Fane, Glyde and Dee rivers, and by all

streams entering tidal water between Murlough Upper and The Haven, Co. Louth. This is a cross

border catchment with a surface area of 2,125 km², 1390 km² of which is located within the

Republic of Ireland (RoI), and 735 km² in Northern Ireland, UK You can access this at 06 Newry,

Fane, Glyde and Dee Catchment Summary WFD Cycle 2.pdf

Give a summary and brief analysis of the plan.

Explain why pig slurry discharge, and agricultural runoff are problems in terms of volume and the

capacity to pollute the water courses. Make recommendations for the reduction of these

problems. Cover technical, commercial and economic aspects and in so doing propose

modifications to the management plan.

assessed work for this module and should not be passed to third parties or posted on any website. Any infringements of this rule should be reported to facultyregistry.eec@coventry.ac.uk. Notes:

  1. You are expected to use the Coventry University Harvard Referencing Style. For support and advice on this students can contact Centre for Academic Writing (CAW).
  2. Please notify your registry course support team and module leader for disability support.
  3. Any student requiring an extension or deferral should follow the university process as outlined here.
  4. The University cannot take responsibility for any coursework lost or corrupted on disks, laptops or personal computer. Students should therefore regularly back-up any work and are advised to save it on the University system.
  5. If there are technical or performance issues that prevent students submitting coursework through the online coursework submission system on the day of a coursework deadline, an appropriate extension to the coursework submission deadline will be agreed. This extension will normally be 24 hours or the next working day if the deadline falls on a Friday or over the weekend period. This will be communicated via your Module Leader.
  6. *(ML’s delete if not applying to this assessment) Assignments that are more than 10% over the word limit will result in a deduction of 10% of the mark i.e. a mark of 60% will lead to a reduction of 6% to 54%. The word limit includes quotations, but excludes the bibliography, reference list and tables.
  7. You are encouraged to check the originality of your work by using the draft Turnitin links on your Moodle Web.
  8. Collusion between students (where sections of your work are similar to the work submitted by other students in this or previous module cohorts) is taken extremely seriously and will be reported to the academic conduct panel. This applies to both courseworks and exam answers.
  9. A marked difference between your writing style, knowledge and skill level demonstrated in class discussion, any test conditions and that demonstrated in a coursework assignment may result in you having to undertake a Viva Voce in order to prove the coursework assignment is entirely your own work. 10.If you make use of the services of a proof reader in your work you must keep your original version and make it available as a demonstration of your written efforts. 11.You must not submit work for assessment that you have already submitted (partially or in full), either for your current course or for another qualification of this university, unless this is specifically provided for in your assignment brief or specific course or module information. Where earlier work by you is citable, ie. it has already been published/submitted, you must reference it clearly. Identical pieces of work submitted concurrently will also be considered to be self- plagiarism. .

Answers which provide a basic critical analysis without clear and detailed use of examples drawn from the case region.. Answers which consider the specifics and provide some analysis of the catchment plan, together with some analysis of the pig slurry issue. Very good critical analysis with reference to the catchment plan together with options for improvement, particularly addressing the agricultural runoff/ pig slurry issue. Provide additional reading, data and analysis to give excellent analysis. Inclusion of detailed analysis and synthesis of information from this catchment management plan. Addresses the causes and solutions of agricultural runoff/pig slurry in technical and management terms.
