We're pleased to share that #KingsLynnIDB has secured funding for the #Gaywood River Study 🌊 🌱! This project will explore the options for #FloodRiskManagement, while enhancing and restoring the river and its catchment to meet key #environmental goals. Delivered by expert consultants @AtkinsRéalis , the study will utilise advanced hydraulic modelling using local catchment data. Their experience with fenland and chalk river systems ensures a strong foundation for informed and #sustainable approaches. Together, we're working toward a healthier, more resilient #GaywoodRiver! 🌿 Stay tuned for updates! 👀 #Sustainability #EnvironmentalRestoration
