Six areas where water companies interests align with the CaBA (there will be more!) David Johnson C.Eng and MICE. Rivers Trust.
Q1: Does catchment management work? Think SAB Miller
Q2: Do you have enough data to understand water company issues? There is lots of evidence that can be used.
Q3: Time to talk to the Engineers? Is catchment management + engineering the way forward?.

1) Sewer capacity and CSOs. The problem a CaBA could help with.
Ø Peak runoff exceeding hydraulic capacity of the sewer => Ø Sewer flooding or Ø Discharges from CSOs.
Ø Not all flooding can be helped by NFM measures. Ø Design the NFM to suit the problem.

Q2: Do you have enough data to understand water company issues?
Ø CaBA data package is a start but there is alot more out there.
Q3: Time to work with the Engineers. Catchment management + engineering is the way forward. Ø Engineering will do the heavy lifting. Ø Engineers like numbers and evidence Ø They also like solving problems
