Question 1
![Page 8: Interview session pilots](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051209/5483ed74b4af9fa00d8b4a8a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Key things a catchment plan must do & be
• Adhere to the principles of co-‐delivery – (more of this later!)
• Outcomes Focused • Join-‐up thinking to bring investors together • Provide straight answers for critical questions • Contain tight targets & milestones • Be accountable, transparent & inclusive • Add too & not duplicate • Move the needle on the dial!
![Page 9: Interview session pilots](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051209/5483ed74b4af9fa00d8b4a8a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
But lets remember this is about more than WFD alone!
• It’s a catchment plan for the river, its people, landscape and ecology.
• Sure, it helps plan and deliver WFD, HD….. • But to be a success it has to be a plan that focuses
on the people that live work and play in the catchment.
• Its all about ‘enlightened self interest’ • The trick is to find out what people care about and
hang directives and measures on that – that in a way that they can see it working for them….
• Then we have a game! We Call It WFD+

Question 2
![Page 13: Interview session pilots](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051209/5483ed74b4af9fa00d8b4a8a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Challenges • Co-‐ordination of existing and new programmes that contribute towards GES
– E.g. AMP6 / PR14 (Ullswater Drinking Water Security Plan?) – Habitats Directive – Catchment Sensitive Farming – EWGS
• Inspiring a catchment community that is already suffering from ‘initiative overload’
to embrace the Eden WFD Challenge. • Convincing already sceptical audiences that the plan will come with the resources
and support required to do the job properly. Not just another talking shop.
• Maintaining independent branding and ownership of the Catchment Plan. Need to ensure ERT are not perceived as contractors or Defra’s new policemen!
• Changing attitudes, perceptions and the working culture of staff within the local ‘Defra Family’ – the pilot is an opportunity...not a threat! Winning hearts and minds could be both an external and internal challenge. (Risk of Twin Track WFD)
• Lack of Data / Evidence / Source Apportionment.........uncertainty!!!! (Hearts & Minds of Farming Community)
• 2500km2 Catchment!
