NOT to 'get water away'!

Catch and detain water where it falls, across all parts of the catchment

e.g. along Hotham- Drewton- North Cave- Mires- Becks.

Intercept, detain and direct flow paths

Create controlled flow paths around groupings of property

Take opportunities to use existing infrastructure, like ditches, to both expand attenuation capacity and detain water with leaky dams (whether woody or engineered)

Reduce surface water surcharge to foul sewers

Need to review and document issues like

drainage at Nordham and Everthorpe

relief from The Croft to Mires Beck (currently YW pipe)

low bridge at Froscoles

link from beck to wetlands - Townend Lane

effect of impermeable cells of restored water between Mires Lane and South Ings Lane (and consider effect of next stage of quarrying)

Data exchange
