Integrated catchment management
- Integrated catchment management
Integrated catchment management is a subset of environmental planning which approaches sustainable resource management from a catchment perspective, in contrast to a piecemeal approach that artificially separates land management from water management.
Integrated catchment management recognises the existence of ecosystems, and the need to understand the role of those ecosystems as habitat for flora and fauna. Integrated catchment management seeks to take into account complex relationships within those ecosystems: between flora and fauna, between geology and hydrology, between soils and the biosphere, and between the biosphere and the atmosphere. Integrated catchment management recognises the cyclic nature of processes within an ecosystem, and values scientific and technical information for understanding and analysing the natural world.
