Tools used to deliver behaviour change
Buy land
Incentives
Cross Compliance
Win-win advice
Designations
Statutory Management Requirements

Cost: Guttering > £20
Saving:
A) 20m x 30m = 600m2 produces
900m3 water in slurry pit
(pumping £1/m3) = £900/yr
B) 900m3 water (mains £2.00/m3) =
£1800/yr
Further savings are realised if you
consider, reduced soil compaction
& pollution risk reduction
A farm with annual rainfall of
1.5m/yr on a roof of 20m x 30m:
Win-Win: Dirty Clean water separation

- Estimated cost/benefit ratio - Sold to OFWAT
- 65p from bill payers = £9m
Buyer - SWW Intermediary - WRT
- Ensure works do not degrade other services - Minimise admin costs
- Monitor concept
Seller - Farmer
- Instigate works - Change practices
Paid Ecosystem Services – IN PRACTICE

- Wants flood protection - Reduced water in STW - Increased development
- Nutrient offsetting
Buyer – ABI, SWW, Developers, Government
Intermediary - NGO
- Assess rural SUDS options against value
- Assess secondary benefits or dis-benefits
Seller - Farmer
- Help design rural SUDS - Submit Bid
- Change practices
PES – Flood & Catchment permitting

Carbon sequestration
- Wants to offset remaining carbon after
reducing use (Voluntary schemes vs Government schemes)
Carbon Offsetter
Intermediary
- Identify marketable carbon sequestration solutions that do not
degrade other services - Ensure additionally
and longevity of scheme

Spaces for wildlife
- Wants to offset any development after
investigating ways to avoid and reduce the
impact
Biodiversity Offsetter
Intermediary
- Identify suitable biodiversity receptor sites that mitigates
for the development - Ensure longevity of
scheme
