Description
The project founded the concept of Catchment Runoff Management Plans, which manage flow pathways directly by storing, slowing and filtering runoff at source on farms. These multipurpose features address:
- water quality
- sediment trapping
- the creation of new habitats
- the storage and attenuation of flood flow
