<td><span style="color: #888888;"><strong><em>Summary: </em></strong></span>This detailed case study builds on the ICLRD’s <a href="http://iclrd.org/2012/02/21/responding-to-the-environmental-challenge-spatial-planning-cross-border-cooperation-and-river-basin-management-2/">recent report</a> on river basin management and its (inter)relationship with spatial planning policy and practice. This study focuses on the States of Berlin and Brandenburg in Germany and the Elbe International River Basin District (IRBD). It demonstrates how one catchment area applied both regulatory and non-regulatory measures to integrate water quality improvements with regional land-use plans. This document presents many insights of relevance to International River Basin Districts, and Water Framework Directive implementation on the island of Ireland more broadly.</td>
