Catchment Planning

Catchment planning involves managing land and water resources in a specific area, known as a catchment area, which drains into a common body of water, such as a river or lake. This planning process aims to balance environmental sustainability, water quality, and community needs. By considering factors like land use, pollution control, and natural habitats, catchment planning helps ensure that water resources remain healthy and accessible for both people and wildlife. It is a collaborative effort that typically involves local authorities, communities, and various stakeholders to address challenges like flooding, erosion, and conservation.
