Challenge
How can infrastructure and planning authorities — including National Highways - work in partnership with catchment managers to prevent pollution from road runoff at scale, cost-effectively, and quickly?
Why it matters
Road runoff is a growing source of pollution - from oils, metals, plastics and sediment - yet remains poorly managed in many catchments. Infrastructure projects can either make this worse or act as levers for change.
Input from participants of the 3rd Clean Water South workshop identified a number of challenges. The 4th workshop created a set of project briefs to tackle these:
- Understanding the impact of planning and road run-off on water systems.
