  1. Site Visit NWRM in action Example of working effectively within and around constraints Hydropower Treaty of Versailles Forest ecological requirement and constraints Seeing the opportunity to deliver improved ecosystem function through natural water retention

  2. Practical Examples Three practical example presentations Stephanie – floodplain restoration in Germany Marie – Renaturalisation in France Maarten – SigmaPlan in Belgium Common themes: Working to deliver environmental objectives within practical site constraints Taking opportunities to improve ecosystem function Delivery of multiple benefits Multiple interventions

  3. Round Table Discussion Considered three questions What are the opportunities for NWRM? Why do we miss these opportunities? How can we improve catchment management to better deliver NWRM? What do we need so that we can implement NWRM more effectively?

  4. Round Table Discussion – Key Themes Opportunity Where are the opportunities to provide improved ecosystem function? Opportunity mapping … Ineffective Catchment Management We break our catchment vision down into different functions We narrow our focus to specific objectives (individual Directives) We get drawn into waterbody-scale management Breaking through the barriers Our starting point should be to look for the opportunities to improve ecosystem function We have to work from reality – to assess and address the real issues

  5. Role Play Exercise Challenges Communication of benefits Understanding solidarity Addressing the reality concerns – practical and irrational! avoiding conflation of issues Understanding the context/history (e.g. land use) Setting out a clear vision Looking for the best possible solution for the circumstance Moving beyond just water management
