Using Catchment Dashboards to check the speed of river improvements…

There is no shortage of data and information on the state of our water environment.  What we felt was missing was a simple, regular and local update with a focus on current actions.  Something easy to read and useful to colleagues, partners and the wider public to show what is happening out there in the catchment.  After working through some ideas, the Catchment Dashboards were born.

We have produced the first edition for a number of our catchments including Combined Essex and I am keen to get feedback so we can make tweaks to the format and content.  Our aim is that the same information is shared with all audiences to ensure transparency and consistency.  This also means we get the best return for the resources taken to create the Catchment Dashboards and we can spend more time making improvements to our rivers rather than talking about it.

We have included a snapshot of current Water Framework Directive status across the catchment, a reminder of the most significant issues / challenges and some of the projects and other activities that have been carried out by ourselves and partners to improve WFD status.  We want to include projects and activities from as many organisations and groups as possible and we are working on the best way to collect this information.

There are a number of rough edges we need to smooth such as reducing the amount of text on the map on the last page and possibly changing the order of some of the sections, but this is very much work in progress.

If you have any feedback please comment on this post or contact me via the form on the About me page.

Thank you as always for your time and support.
