Strategic Land Drainage Activities
The Council manages its watercourses in two ways. One of these ways is by carrying out specific projects to protect areas that have been identified as being particularly prone to flooding. Each project is subject to a feasibility study which, if it meets certain criteria, will lead to full project appraisal. This will identify a cost effective solution that can be progressed to an acceptable flood alleviation scheme.
