Joint operational model

L·Catchment

Catchment is where 'fit' is decided

What should happen

Map flow paths, runoff sources and ecological corridors across the whole sub-basin.
Coordinate measures upstream–downstream so individual NBS add up to catchment-scale benefit.
Evaluate the effectiveness with monitoring the quantity and quality of treated stormwater as well as complementary amenities of the NBS
Cross-municipal agreements where the catchment crosses administrative borders.

Catchment-fit NBS only emerge when every scale plays its part. Read outward (NBS → Global) to trace what an asset depends on; read inward to see how ambition becomes a working rain garden.
