It includes information on the investigations into the effects of sulphide pollution on the River Derwent and a summary of results of water samples taken from Lostrigg Beck. Also added is the report by the area fisheries officer on fisheries activities which comments on river conditions and fishing, migratory fish movements, and an update on Holmwrangle Hatchery.
