Having an integrated approach to flood risk and environmental outcomes across a whole catchment from source to sea, gets better outcomes for every pound spent, for people and the environment. By working together in a coordinated way, sharing information and expertise and ensuring joint decision making we will be in a better position to make positive changes.
