Somerset's Common Works Programme 2015/16 - Q3 Progress

The Common Works Programme shows the flood risk and water management works Somerset's Flood Risk Management Authorities are doing, funded from their own budgets. The last section, labelled joint, is for projects that are joint funded, including those that SRA funds are contributing to

Heavily Modified Water Bodies are at risk of failing to meet Good Ecological Status due to modifications to their hydromorphology. Mitigation measures are required to improve the ecology to Good Ecological Potential without altering the original purpose of the modification i.e. flood defence, land drainage or abstraction. In Wessex Area there is funding to implement mitigation measures where waterbodies are in protected areas, the majority are in the Somerset Levels and Moors.
