RECLAIM THE RAIN
PIONEERING NEW WAYS TO BUILD WATER RESILIENCE IN NORFOLK AND SUFFOLK
Help us reduce the risk of flooding in our small rural communities 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 reducing flooding in small rural locations. To begin with, we aim to improve at least six communities’ resilience to flood risk and drought, three in each county.
If you’re someone who lives in one of these communities this is a fantastic chance to access funding where traditionally you wouldn’t be able to get it. It’s also your opportunity to shape policies on water resilience that will support current and future generations. We want to speak with you, tapping your expert local knowledge and your creativity to shine light on ways that water in your area can be managed and reused.
