The Future for Catchment Management
This chapter highlights widely perceived pressures on catchment resources globally. It reviews existing management, policy, and scientific advances that had been recently implemented and their likely impact. It considers the pressures and solutions under the broad headings of climate change, biodiversity, land use, coasts, ecosystem goods and services, people and science aspects of catchment management, recognising that in reality, these issues are interacting and require inter‐disciplinary approaches. The less developed areas of the globe remain in a difficult position in terms of planning and managing against climate change due to continued lack of data. Biodiversity loss is also closely related to climate change, and this may become the major driver of biodiversity loss in the next decades. The science understanding in support of catchment management has made significant advances over the past decade and will no doubt continue. Mathematical models of catchments have become increasingly spatially resolved and represent more process‐based dynamics.
