East Midlands Yorkshire Groundwater Model Update

Descriptions

This contract relates to the second phase of a two-phase project to update the East Midlands and Yorkshire Area (EMY) Sherwood Sandstone Groundwater model. This project is co-funded by two Environment Agency areas, Yorkshire and the East Midlands. The aim of this project is to create a unified numerical model without comprising the quality of the calibration of the existing EMY model that would enhance the EA’s ability to make abstraction licensing decisions on a sound scientific basis and, in doing so, sustainably manage groundwater levels and protect sensitive surface water features on the outcrop of the East Midlands-Yorkshire aquifer.
