The catchment is mostly rural, with a few larger urban areas including the City of Norwich, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. Land in the catchment is mainly used for arable farming, although there are some industries around Norwich which rely on water. Water-based tourism, such as boating and angling, is vitally important to the local economy. (EA)
