RECLAIM THE RAIN
PIONEERING NEW WAYS TO BUILD WATER RESILIENCE IN NORFOLK AND SUFFOLK
We’re working with rural communities to reduce the risk of flooding and develop new ways of saving water.
Reclaim the Rain is a project run by Norfolk and Suffolk County Councils to test new ways of managing and harnessing water in small rural locations. To begin with, we’re working with six communities to develop creative ways to improve resilience to flood and drought risk, three in each county.
From this work we plan to use our findings to shape policies on water resilience that will be implemented across the country, to support current and future generations.

OUR CHOSEN COMMUNITIES
We’re working with six rural communities, three in Norfolk and three in Suffolk, to explore ways of improving their resilience to flooding and drought. By using their expert local knowledge we’re coming up with creative initiatives to reuse water and help protect against flooding.
