Key stages in River Basin Planning - what stage are we at?

The river basin planning process is made up of a number of stages. These come together in a continuous cycle of activity to produce the first and subsequent River Basin Management Plans (RBMPs). Public participation is important throughout the cycle and is sought at various key stages in the process.
To find out what stage we are at in the river basin planning process, check the diagram below.
