Protecting Catchments to Reduce Climate-Driven Water Pollution
Healthy catchments play a vital role in maintaining water quality under changing climate conditions. Vegetation, wetlands, and stable soils help filter pollutants, reduce runoff, and limit sediment movement into waterways. Climate change increases pressure on catchments through droughts, floods, and fires. Protecting and restoring these natural systems improves resilience, reduces contamination risks, and supports long-term water quality by buffering the impacts of extreme climate events.
