Tender description

The objective of this project is to assess the water resource benefits (and other multiple benefits) of modelling Nature-based solutions (NBS) measures across Chalk catchments. This is predominantly a desk-based numerical model study, although future work may progress to trialling some NBS measures. The outputs of this project are required to embed the Groundwater and NBS concept into the catchment approach and improve water resources (i.e. increased soil infiltration rates, groundwater recharge rates, aquifer storage and summer base-flows) across Chalk catchments. The aim of this work is to increase our understanding of how NBS can support and improve water resources across Chalk catchments and to provide groundwater that is more resilient to the impacts of climate change and droughts. The project is a collaboration with Water Resources East (WRE) who have made two bids to the water resources strategic review of charges (WR SRoC) chalk partnership fund to support this project through mapping and modelling in catchments in Norfolk and Cambridgeshire.
