This presentation by John Stack, will describe the concept of Integrated Catchment Management (ICM) and how it is applied by Dublin City Council for Water Framework Directive (WFD) purposes. It will discuss how ICM is used to identify, classify and prioritise pressures on receiving waters and how that information may be used to inform decisions related to the use of Sustainable Drainage Systems, a form of Nature-Based Solution (NBS) within Dublin City. It highlights the need for a strategic, systematic approach to the use of SUDS/NBS at catchment level to ensure achievement of WFD objectives. It will show how SUDS/NBS can improve local ecology and improve the urban landscape whilst simultaneously doing the work for which it was intended – managing stormwater and improving water quality.
