North Norfolk catchmentDefinition (https://www.google.co.uk/#q=North+Norfolk+catchment) The North Norfolk Rivers catchment is a relatively narrow strip of land along the North Norfolk coast. The catchment is predominantly rural, with the largest towns being Mundesley, Cromer, Sheringham, Holt and Wells-next-the-Sea. Much of the coastline around this catchment is nationally and internationally designated for its important habitats
and species. The main watercourses, the rivers Burn, Glaven and Stiffkey are chalk rivers, a habitat
that is internationally rare. The chalk and overlying deposits have created a rare chalk river system with at least 75% of flows being derived from the underground springs. (EA) Preferred Units: N/A Scope Note: N/A
