Project Groundwater has nine workstreams. Together, they are designed to deliver our vision of transforming how communities prepare and respond to groundwater flooding.
Engagement and Communications
Aim: To engage with communities and businesses across the pilot areas to ensure that the solutions developed are collaborative and accessible.
Monitoring
Aim: To understand and improve the monitoring of groundwater levels which could lead to flooding.
Modelling and Mapping
Aim: To model and map groundwater flood hazard in areas of chalk and permeable superficial deposits (gravel) across the project area.
Flood Warning
Aim: To develop a web-based flood warning service to alert communities to potential groundwater flooding incidents.
Resilience
Aim: To research and test innovative methods for increasing resilience to groundwater flooding, including updates properties could install to increase resilience during flood events.
Nature Based Solutions
Aim: To develop ideas for nature-based solutions and Sustainable Drainage Systems.
Evaluation, Learning and Innovation
Aim: To ensure that innovation is a fundamental value across all workstreams in the project and that we are constantly evaluating our progress and learning from our work and our communities.
Research and Education
Aim: To increase knowledge about groundwater flooding and share our findings to benefit others.
