In consultation with many local organisations and groups the Environment Agency has produced Catchment Flood Management Plans (CFMPs) covering the main 68 catchments in England. These documents set out the strategic context for managing flood risk in a catchment, helping decision makers by identifying the policy options being adopted to manage flood risks. They also help form the position we take in our work to manage assets, watercourses, flood forecasting, and to help land use planning and development. The CFMPs aim to promote the most effective approaches to managing flood risk, investing time and money to best effect. Even where.
