               FARMING FLOODPLAINS for the FUTURE
FARMING FLOODPLAINS for the FUTURE
• Partnership Project
  – Bringing together
     • Sow & Penk Drainage Board
     • Staffordshire Wildlife Trust
     • Environment Agency
     • Natural England
     • FWAG

                                      FARMING FLOODPLAINS for the FUTURE
Key Aim
  To determine whether the farmed
  landscape can be viably managed in
    ways that effectively reduce flood
  risk downstream, while at the same
       time enhancing the natural
              environment.

• National pilot project
• Looking at the practicalities of
  implementing solutions on the ground
• To inform future policy direction

Findings – Potential Cost Effectiveness

COST :-
     436,000m3 @ £2.41/m3 = £1,051,000



BENEFIT :-
    314 houses @ £20,000 = £6,280,000



COST / BENEFIT RATIO = 6 : 1
