  1. Holistic Water Management Catchment Selection

  2. Project Specification • Recommend a suitable catchment using following criteria: • Agricultural area and area of development • Issues in upper and lower catchment • Water resources issues (all sectors) • Flood defence issues • Consider existing infrastructure • Water Dependent Environments • Water Framework Directive issues

  3. Results

  4. Methodology • Selection criteria • Catchment characteristics • Environmental Issues • Water scarcity • Flood management • Administrative barriers • Weighting and Scoring • Equal weighting for each criteria • Yes/No scoring

  5. Catchments (CAMS)

  6. Catchments (WR licensing)

  7. Catchments (HWM)

  8. Administrative Boundaries • Environment Agency Areas • County Council • District Council • Water Company (not zones) • Score; Yes/No • Equal weighting to other 4 criteria

  9. Catchment Characteristics • Area • River system • Aquifers • Urban/rural mix • Planned Development

  10. Catchment Characteristics • Area (difference from mean) • River system Lark and Kennet

  11. Catchment Characteristics • Aquifers (unconfined)

  12. Catchment Characteristics • Urban/rural mix • Planned Development

  13. Water Dependent Environments • SSSIs • European Sites • RSA/NEP Actions • Support boreholes

  14. Water Scarcity • No of Abstraction licences • Storage for Spray Irrigation • Abstractor Groups • Resource Scarcity

  15. Water Scarcity • No of Abstraction licences • Storage for Spray Irrigation • Abstractor Groups

  16. Water Scarcity • Resource Scarcity

  17. Flood Management • In river structures • Zone 3 flood risk area • Properties at risk • IDBs

  18. Flood Management • IDBs

  19. Other Possible Considerations • Existing measures (eg. SUDS) • On-going/planned work, eg. • Shoreline Management Plans • FCRM Structure Review Programme • Interested Parties eg. • River Groups • RSPB

  20. Results
