A pioneering project
The University of Lincoln has started a new collaboration with Lincolnshire County Council as part of a £7.5million project to investigate groundwater flooding.
It is hoped the data will contribute to future decision-making processes regarding food production and coastal water management. "We can then take this to the Government and show them the problems we have in Lincolnshire, how much it's going to cost us moving forwards for the next 10-20 years, and ask how do we help solve this problem not only for us but as a nation?"
Multiple trial communities have been chosen, each addressing specific challenges related to groundwater flooding. In Bourne, the Groundwater Project is surveying numerous boreholes in the area in a bid to understand water loss patterns and identify potential solutions.
