Description

The general objective of this project is to update the existing groundwater model that will significantly improve the Environment Agency's ability to make abstraction licensing decisions on a sound scientific basis and, in doing so, protect and/or enhance sensitive surface water features underlain by the Yazor Gravel aquifer. It is anticipated that the groundwater model will inform the groundwater resources assessment for the Yazor Gravel Aquifer and support the catchment abstraction management strategy (CAMS) process in the Upper Wye catchment. It is also expected that the groundwater model will be integral to the investigations and assessments undertaken for the Water Framework Directive.
