Details

This report accompanies the 2022 river basin management plans for England.

The report:

• outlines the economic evidence for making the investments required to protect and improve the quality of England’s water environment
• describes and compares the costs and benefits of taking action in both monetary and non-monetary terms
• builds on the evidence provided in the impact assessment that accompanied the 2015 river basin management plans – the main change is better evidence on the scale and costs of measures needed to reduce the damaging impacts of the water industry and agriculture.

The report also describes the likely scale of available funding to pay for the required measures from 2021 to 2027.
