The Severn river basin district (RBD) river basin management plan describes the challenges that threaten the water environment and how these challenges can be managed.

The Severn RBD includes catchments in England and Wales. The Environment Agency and Natural Resources Wales jointly manage this RBD.

The Severn river basin management plan (RBMP) summary and cross border catchments (England and Wales) document provides an overview of river basin planning in England and Wales for the Severn River Basin District. This, together with the country specific documents and data forms the Severn RBMP.

Information on the Welsh part of the Severn RBMP is available on Natural Resources Wales’ river basin management plans website.
