Dutch term or phrase: watergebiedsplan

"De hierboven geschetste aspecten krijgen concreet vorm in een watergebiedsplan."

Allerlei vragen komen bij me op. Genoeg google hits voor "watergebiedsplan" maar ik betwijfel of dit naar wetland verwijst. Is het "watergebieds-plan" of meer "water-gebiedsplan....?" Watergebiedsplannen lijken wel met behoorlijk natte gebieden te maken hebben, zoals de Vechtse Plassen etc. Is het een wetland management plan of is een wetland "te nat" (moeras) voor een watergebiedsplan? Wie weet een goede vertaling?

area plan for water management

Explanation:
This is essentially what the word means and is normally drawn up by the local water authority. It covers all areas (dry or wet).

This is the best description I could find (in Dutch) to describe it

Notes to answerer

Asker: I like this "area plan" for water management. It will be my working translation for now. Thanks.

3 hrs confidence:

Area water framework directive

Explanation:
The Water Framework Directive is a Europe-wide initiative, the implementation of which is in the hands of local authorities in the U.K. where smaller regional plans and consultations take place and enforcement is managed. Often called "local" or "regional", I think Area is the best rendition of the rather vague extent of the term "gebied".

regional waterboard plan

Explanation:
The URL below may be of some help.
My first intuition was 'catchment area plan', but it could be either I suppose.
