Catchment Management Plans

Catchment Management Plans are strategic frameworks used to protect and improve the health of a specific drainage area, known as a catchment. They involve assessing water quality, land use, and ecological health to identify issues like pollution or habitat loss. The plans set goals and coordinate actions among landowners, authorities, and communities to sustainably manage water resources, prevent flooding, and support biodiversity. Essentially, they ensure that all activities within the catchment are balanced to maintain clean water, healthy ecosystems, and resilient landscapes for current and future needs.
