How we can help
Improve water resilience
Water is becoming an increasingly valuable resource across South East England.
We help farmers and landowners understand water-related risks and identify practical solutions to improve resilience, including:
- Water storage and rainwater harvesting
- Sustainable irrigation solutions
- Farm water management planning
- Reducing vulnerability to drought and water shortage
Manage runoff and reduce flood risk
Heavy rainfall can lead to soil erosion, pollution and flooding both on and beyond your land.
We can help identify opportunities to:
- Slow the flow of water across the landscape
- Reduce runoff and soil loss
- Improve water quality
- Protect rivers, roads and nearby communities
Deliver Nature-based Solutions
Nature-based solutions can provide multiple benefits for farms, rivers and wildlife.
Examples include:
- Wetlands and farm ponds
- Riparian tree planting
- Floral plots and pollinator habitats
- River restoration and floodplain reconnection
- Soil health improvements
These approaches can improve biodiversity, store carbon, manage water and enhance the resilience of your land.
