River Basin Management Plan
A River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) is a strategic document that outlines how to manage water resources within a specific river basin. It aims to protect and improve water quality, ensure sustainable water use, and maintain healthy ecosystems. The plan is developed in accordance with regulations such as the Water Framework Directive in the European Union, which emphasizes the importance of integrated water management.
The RBMP involves assessing the current state of water bodies, identifying pressures and risks, and setting objectives for improvement. Stakeholders, including local communities, industries, and environmental groups, are often engaged in the planning process to ensure that diverse interests are considered. This collaborative approach helps to create effective solutions for managing water resources sustainably.
