General considerations

After the problems of the watershed have been identified and analysedthe objectives of the Watershed Management project should be determined by the planning committee.

The objectives must be recorded clearly for each problem.

Additionally, the objectives should be ranked according to their importance in discussion with all members of the planning committee.

Objectives in the Gina River catchment

The planning committee of the Gina River catchment had long discussions about the objectives of their Watershed Management project. A consensus were quickly achieved about the two main objectives (see figure).

The task of the planning committee is now to select a watershed management strategy.
