Case study – Encouraging water-sensitive farming and reducing phosphorus loss from farms and fields into local watercourses.

A case study project, which aimed to provide compelling evidence to persuade stakeholders that sustainable land management practices to reduce nitrate leaching from soils are enough to reverse groundwater and surface water quality deterioration. 

This document brings together a number of easy-to-install monitoring measures that can be used to help
understand the effectiveness of field scale agricultural measures or Natural Flood Management schemes in catchments.

The Desktop CaBA GIS Data Package is a set of over 150 data layers, which is provided to CaBA Catchment Hosts under a license negotiated centrally with the data providers. Version 5 is a complete refresh of all the preceding versions and has some great new data in it too.

A case Study – A market-based approach using systems thinking to deliver multiple ecosystem improvements with benefits spanning water quality, flood management, resilience, development and population growth, and socio-economic impact.

A case study about the Farm to Tap scheme – Where Severn Trent Water works with farmers to help mitigate the impact from pesticides and other run-offs from agricultural land on water quality.
