Through river basin planning, we have developed an integrated evidence base on the state of the water environment The ‘one out, all out’ approach to assessing the environment can obscure the true state
Balanced costs and benefits There is significant funding in place for the next cycle
Contents1. Introduction to River Basin
Management Planning
2. Estuarine and Coastal Waters – current status, pressures & objectives
3. Working in partnership through a Catchment Based Approach
4. River Basin Management Planning Timescales
River basin planning is a catalyst for more shared decision making and delivery – partnership working
