<strong>River</strong> Boynr <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Quality</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>The catchment of the <strong>River</strong> <strong>Boyne</strong>, therefore, is relatively flat and primarily pasture. <strong>Water</strong> qualitytrends indicate a diminished standard over the last 20-25 years based on <strong>EPA</strong> biological sampling(formerly an Foras Forbortha) - ERU.The river network to which the plan relates is illustrated in Fig. 1 and comprises the main<strong>Boyne</strong>channel and the significant tributaries which are covered by the E.P.A. monitoring programme. Itrefers to the freshwater river system upstream of the tidal estuary at Drogheda (Obelisk Bridge).From its source in Co. Kildare, the main channel flows westwards towards Edenderry in Co. Offalyand then in a north-westerly direction towards Rahan, where it enters Co. Meath. It flows in a northeastdirection towards Trim, intercepting the Longwood Blackwater, the Yellow <strong>River</strong>, the Kinnegad<strong>River</strong>, the <strong>River</strong> Deel, Stonyford and Athboy tributaries.For inspection purposes only.Consent of copyright owner required for any other use.<strong>EPA</strong> Export 26-07-2013:17:26:59
