DESCRIPTION
Two way data sharing between government agencies and community groups is essential to ensure effective delivery of the Water Framework Directive and many other statutory and environmental management objectives. Achieving this will require some joined-up thinking and investment in strategic infrastructure, particularly for the community groups who aren't currently covered by the INSPIRE directive. The Rivers Trust as the umbrella body for the rivers trusts movement are key players working towards this aim.

Catchment Management Planning

“Data and evidence are needed to inform strategic catchment management planning”
The Need for Information
“Cooperation and data-sharing are a powerful way to achieve ‘win-win’ situations”“Robust monitoring will help to assess which actions are most successful”

SOURCE PATHWAY RECEPTOR
• Information management is key to successful rollout of CaBA
• Community evidence base will grow rapidly
• Catchment plans will be produced in unique local ways
Review
??? How does this feed up to the River Basin Planning process in a coherent way?

Centre for Excellence
1. Basic skills development (GIS, monitoring techniques, walkover surveys, invasive species, biological monitoring methods, water chemistry, citizen science, etc.)2. Provision of knowledge management expertise (catchment investigations design, modelling, farm advice, data analysis, experimental design, data and evidence interpretation and visualisation, etc.)3. Resources and logistics (data modelling and standards, data storage and sharing platforms, data licensing and procurement, software, tools, online resources, etc.)
