53. A catchment provides us with many things….
But – the provision of some is reduced and needs work to improve..?
Evidence &
Knowledge
54. Catchment planning is also about talking to people with
different needs from the environment…
Our aim should be to understand these needs, build consensus
and then do something intelligent that benefits as many people
as possible…

62. “Our aim should be to understand people’s needs, build
consensus and then do something intelligent that benefits as
many people as possible…”
We should therefore strive to…
• Deliver the most multi-functional (multi-benefit-realising)
interventions,
• tailored and targeted into specific & appropriate locations
• where there is both a quantifiable need/requirement for the
provision of these benefits to be increased
• and where they are best able to deliver their benefits optimally
(maximising the cost-to-benefit ratio achieved)
The aim of this project is to improve the understanding of these
elements and develop resources that enable and empower
catchment partnerships and policy-makers to build consensus
and achieve the very best possible outcomes from their work
