Catchment management

Definition (http://ccmhub.net/the-catchment-approach/what-is-catchment-management/)

A catchment-based approach to managing the water environment looks at activities and issues in the catchment as a whole, rather than considering different aspects separately in different locations. Crucially, this approach involves bringing people together from different sectors to identify issues and agree priorities for action – and ultimately building local partnerships to put these actions in place.
