Description

The Environment Agency works to create better places for people and wildlife and support sustainable development. It was established in 1996 to protect and improve the environment. The priorities of the Agency are to work with businesses and other organisations to manage the use of resources; increase the reliance of people, property and businesses to the risks of flooding and coastal erosion; protect and improving water, land and biodiversity; improving the way they work as a regulator to protect people and the environment and support sustainable growth.
The overarching objective for this project is to improve the Environment Agency's capability to regulate, manage and protect water resources of the Sherwood Sandstone Principal Aquifer. The project aims to do this by improving the conceptualisation of the Sherwood Sandstone using the updated geological knowledge from the recent British Geological Survey's investigations in the Yorkshire area, and from the newly created gridded 3D geological models. The updated conceptualisation of the aquifer (undertaken in Phase 1) should be used to generate an updated, unified, reliable numerical groundwater model covering both the Sherwood Sandstone Principal Aquifer of the East Midlands and the Yorkshire areas.
