The Adur & Ouse Catchment Partnership brings people and organisations together to improve our rivers and waterways.
Hosted by the Ouse & Adur Rivers Trust, we were established in 2011. We work across the Adur and Ouse catchment to help create a healthier water environment.
Why we work together
Our catchment is home to rivers, streams, wetlands, woods, farmland and coastal waters. These places support wildlife and local communities.
But our waterways face many pressures. These include pollution, flooding, climate change, habitat loss and growing demand for water.
No single organisation can solve these problems alone. By working together, we can share knowledge, take action and find lasting solutions.
Our shared goals
Together, we aim to:
- Improve water quality and reduce pollution.
- Restore rivers and habitats so wildlife can thrive.
- Reduce flood risk and help nature adapt to climate change.
- Protect water supplies for people and wildlife.
- Connect people with nature and involve local communities.
Our partners bring different skills and experience. We share one goal: a healthier catchment for people and nature.
