## Notice

The East Anglia Area of the Environment Agency has established an ongoing Strategy for Groundwater Investigations and Modelling. The Strategy is being managed by the Environment & Business (E&B) Technical Projects Team which is part of the national E&B groundwater team. The aim of the strategy maintains and improves a number of mathematical model assets of all the significant aquifers within East Anglian and Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire area. The models are used to forecast potential impacts of current and proposed groundwater abstractions on the water environment, enabling water resource management decisions to be made with best current scientific knowledge. The hydrological monitoring services of this Contract are part of the data maintenance process and needed to define and validate the models. The data obtained will also be used to assist other Agency initiatives such as the Restoring Sustainable Abstraction (RSA) programme and overall abstraction management .
