The Catchment Based Approach (CaBA) is a community-led approach that engages people and groups from across society to help improve our precious water environments. CaBA Partnerships are now actively working in 100+ catchments across England and cross-border Wales. CaBA partnerships make use of the best available data and evidence to develop a shared understanding of the problems in their catchments, so that they can effectively target their actions and funds where they will have multiple benefits for people and wildlife.
Our local CaBA partnership is the Dales to Vale Rivers Network which does amazing work bring together organisations and individuals with an interest in preserving and enhancing the benefits provided by our rivers and wider catchments.
The Data Hub map explorer is a hive of data for all things rivers, but it is a bit of a beast and tends to run pretty slow. For those of us in York, The DVRN has a more user friendly map which is useful for understanding the impact on the Ouse from the wider Swale, Ure and Nidd rivers which form the SUNO catchment.
