Title Integrated Catchment Management for Water: Addressing the Gap Between Rehtoric and Reality
Author Jocob Tompkins
Company Water UK
Synopsis
Integrated catchment management is a fashionable concept. Politicians, consultants, NGOs, the water industry and others are all in favour of ICM. Like ‘stakeholder involvement’ it is essential for every report, every speech and every funding bid. But there are very few practical examples of ICM.

This paper discusses the barriers and drivers for ICM and proposes a number of actions to promote sustainable management water quality and resources.
