We work with partners to use environmental science to deliver practical solutions to catchment challenges in the Yorkshire and Humber region
The Yorkshire Integrated Catchment Solutions Programme (iCASP) is part of water@leeds at the University of Leeds.
We provide innovative research and the scientific evidence needed to tackle issues such as flooding and drought, water quality, peatland restoration and creating a more resilient environment.
In 2017, we were set up with Natural Environment Research Council funding to translate existing research into useful products. Our success means we are now a sustainable resource, attracting millions of pounds of investment to our region and delivering multiple benefits, widespread across the catchment.
We have developed regional networks such as the West Yorkshire Flood Innovation Programme (WYFLIP) and the Yorkshire Natural Flood Management Community of Practice, with knowledge and expertise that has proven invaluable to external national and international projects such as WaterLANDS, the UK Freshwater Quality Programme, and EITWater.
Plan for the future
Our door is always open to new partners and collaborations.
We work on:
- emerging regional priorities
- coordinating new regional funding bids, and
- welcome exciting project ideas for achieving environmental improvement and social and economic resilience – so get in touch.
