Severn Trent Water Ltd have a significant number of groundwater sources in the model area with a Water Industry National Environment Programme (WINEP) Dec 2021Options Appraisal delivery date. An up-to-date groundwater numerical model will be a key tool for supporting the Options Appraisal process. If technically possible, this project will also include the option to extend the model boundary to include Alberbury GWMU.
