We describe: • the activities in the catchment which affect the water environment and the uses made of water • the NRA’s objectives and targets for the water environment, described under five headings - water quality, water quantity, groundwater protection, physical features and flood defence • the state of the catchment is assessed in relation to the five categories of objectives.

E. II. BATES, M.A. the outset an explanation of the agglutinated expression, AT "Five-hide-unit," is necessary. Every reader of Domes- day knows that in that mighty record four statements in par- ticular are set down for each vill or holding, the new owner and the value of the vill when he received it, and the late owner and the number of hides for which the vill paid Dane- geld in the reign of King Edward the Confessor.

But what was the Hide, the unit of assessment on which the tax was levied ?
