The National Appraisal Summary Spreadsheet (NASS) contains cost and benefit estimates for measures needed to achieve water body objectives by 2027 and beyond. It contains data for all water bodies in England and was published by the Environment Agency. The impact assessment is built from multiple data sources and is based on many assumptions.

Use Cases

• Prioritize water body restoration investments based on cost-effectiveness estimates mentioned in the description.

• Assess the financial requirements for achieving water quality objectives by 2027 based on the presented costs.

Strengths

• Data covers all water bodies in England, providing national scope.
• Costs are presented at the measure level, allowing for granular analysis.
