Healthy water bodies provide a multitude of services that we as humans are dependent on. However, ensuring the sustainable management of these presents numerous challenges. This is because water bodies are affected by all the activities that occur on the land that drains into them, as well as by actions in abstracting, using and returning water. As a result numerous studies have identified that only coordinated action at the catchment level and involving all stakeholders responsible can ensure the protection and improvement of the water environment. In reflection of the need for more locally focused decision making at the catchment level the Government introduced the Catchment Based Approach (CaBA) to water management in 2013. This led to 100 Catchment Partnerships of stakeholders being established across the country. These partnerships provide an opportunity to engage local communities, charities and business in environmental planning. However, they will require access to information about the current and future risks to their catchments if they are to make well informed and sustainable decisions. They also require support in developing the tools and methods that can be used to plan at the catchment level. NERC's extensive research portfolio in the areas of water and land management presents an opportunity to provide this, demonstrating the impact that research can have not only in assisting with the delivery of public policy but also in improving public discourse and awareness of environmental problems. The Catchment Planning and Management Knowledge Exchange Fellowship will investigate where there are data sets, monitoring results and information from NERC funded research programmes related to catchment management and translate these making them available and accessible for use in local decision making. The Fellow will also work with the Catchment Partnerships, support groups and national decision makers to investigate how to make data available and to demonstrate how they can be used to aid local understanding and planning. Ensuring that local decision makers have awareness of the services that the ecosystems within their catchments deliver will be essential if these are to be considered in planning that enables multiple benefits to be achieved. Therefore, the KE fellow will work to ensure that outputs from NERC's research programmes investigating ecosystem services, such as the Valuing Nature Programme and the Biodiversity and Ecosystems Services Sustainability Programme, inform the development of the use of ecosystem services within catchment planning. This will improve understanding of how different ecosystem services can be valued and compared as well as understanding where the trade-offs between different ecosystem services may occur in order to facilitate planning. The KE Fellow will also work across NERC's research programmes and innovation programmes to provide Catchment Partnerships with access to outputs that communicate the importance of sustainable water management. This will help to ensure that a diverse range of individuals, groups and sectors are engaged in catchment planning. This will include NERC research into the links between the environment and human health and well-being as well as natural hazards, risks and infrastructure. This will assist with ensuring the involvement of a diverse range of individuals, groups and sectors such as health care professionals, social services, community groups, local authorities, spatial planners, transport providers, businesses etc. in order to support local environmental improvements. Following on from demonstrating the importance of engagement with catchment planning the KE fellowship will work to identify how NERC research can support the attraction of funding for environmental improvements identified at the local level, thus helping to ensure long term financial support for catchment management.

健康的水体提供了我们人类赖以生存的多种服务。然而，确保对这些问题的可持续管理带来了许多挑战。这是因为水体受到排入水体的土地上发生的所有活动的影响，以及抽取、使用和返还水的行为的影响。因此，许多研究表明，只有在集水区一级采取协调一致的行动，让所有相关利益攸关方参与进来，才能确保保护和改善水环境。由于需要在集水区一级作出更加注重地方的决策，政府于2013年将基于集水区的办法(CABA)引入水管理。这导致在全国各地建立了100个利益攸关方集水伙伴关系。这些伙伴关系提供了让当地社区、慈善机构和企业参与环境规划的机会。然而，如果他们要做出知情和可持续的决定，他们将需要获得有关其流域当前和未来风险的信息。它们还需要在开发可用于在集水区一级进行规划的工具和方法方面提供支持。全国环境研究中心在水和土地管理领域的广泛研究组合提供了提供这一机会的机会，表明研究不仅可以在协助执行公共政策方面产生影响，而且还可以在改善公众话语和提高对环境问题的认识方面产生影响。流域规划和管理知识交流研究金将调查NERC资助的与流域管理有关的研究方案在哪里有数据集、监测结果和信息，并将其翻译成可供地方决策使用的数据。该研究员还将与流域伙伴关系、支持团体和国家决策者合作，调查如何提供数据，并展示如何利用这些数据来帮助当地了解和规划。确保地方决策者了解其流域内的生态系统所提供的服务是至关重要的，如果要在规划中考虑这些服务，以实现多重惠益。因此，科研院所将致力于确保NERC调查生态系统服务的研究方案的成果，如评估自然方案和生物多样性和生态系统服务可持续方案，为在流域规划中使用生态系统服务的发展提供信息。这将增进对如何评估和比较不同生态系统服务的理解，以及理解不同生态系统服务之间的权衡可能发生在哪里，以便促进规划。KE研究员还将在NERC的研究方案和创新方案中开展工作，为集水伙伴关系提供获得传播可持续水管理重要性的成果的机会。这将有助于确保各种不同的个人、团体和部门参与流域规划。这将包括NERC对环境与人类健康和福祉以及自然灾害、风险和基础设施之间的联系的研究。这将有助于确保医疗保健专业人员、社会服务、社区团体、地方当局、空间规划者、交通提供者、企业等各种个人、团体和部门的参与，以支持当地环境改善。在展示参与流域规划的重要性之后，KE研究金将努力确定NERC研究如何支持为地方一级确定的环境改善提供资金的吸引力，从而帮助确保对流域管理的长期财政支持。
