Partnerships need to consider the targets of the 25 year environment plan, including: clean and plentiful water, thriving plants and wildlife, using resources from nature more sustainably and efficiently, enhancing beauty, heritage and engagement with the natural environment and mitigating and adapting to climate change. This focus will include actions to deliver improvements to the Water Environment (Water Framework Directive) (England & Wales) Regulations 2017 objectives, climate crisis, biodiversity crisis, flood risk, coastal erosion, growing population, plastics and land management delivered through an integrated catchment approach. Managing the water environment (including rivers, lakes, groundwater, estuaries and the sea) can be very complex and requires balancing the priorities and needs of multiple water users, landowners, and organisations with differing roles and responsibilities considering how to maximise natural capital and net gain. Individual grant values range from £3,250 for sub-catchments to £250,000 for the Catchment Based Approach (CaBA) National Support Group (NSG).
