This document discusses delivery of the Catchment Based Approach in urban environments. It includes presentations from various organizations on projects they have undertaken to improve water quality, reduce flood risk, and enhance habitats in urban catchments. Partnerships between different stakeholders are highlighted as important for achieving goals in urban areas where challenges include high population density, multiple land uses, and complex infrastructure networks. The benefits of a Catchment Based Approach for integrating work across land and water in cities are demonstrated through case studies of multi-partner projects.

- 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
