We work to ensure policy makers and decision makers are aware of the benefits associated with community-based Natural Catchment Measures both for the natural world and government budgets. Linking national government priorities with local community needs through appropriate financial mechanisms is our on going work.
2. Project management and Implementation
We use our expertise from around the world, to translate government objectives into community projects, with clear guidelines, responsibilities and tasks. We carry out implementation of Natural Catchment Measures in water-stressed regions of the world, drawing from the 30 years experience of our partners in India, (Tarun Bharat Sangh), Slovakia , (People and Water) and the UK (the James Hutton Institute and Newcastle University).
3. Research
We conduct research on community-based water projects around the world, connecting them together and sharing best practice globally. “The New Water Paradigm” by our partners, People and Water in Slovakia calls for a new way to work with water, providing an evidence-based, scientific basis to this work.We are building a case study web-library of Natural Catchment Measures’ global best practice.

Awareness and Education are vital for people to get into managing their landscapes in an effective and informed manner. As also teaching the next generation, the traditional wisdom that has managed landscapes in their regions . We are in the process of creating a practical educational program for people to learn and understand what they can do in their regions, learning from the experience of our growing family of global partners.

We provide financial models through which local community, businesses and investors can fund a project, backed by Government support. For example, our River and Landscape Bond (RLB) is a financial mechanism that aids governments, businesses and all other stake holders to undertake this work at a fraction of the cost of traditional hard engineering works.
