We are excited to share that DRIP has won an award at the national Flood and Coast Excellence awards, in the Surface Water Management category. This award recognises the work we have carried out in one of our pilot project communities, Stokeinteignhead, to increase community resilience to flooding. This has involved natural flood management, property flood resilience and a trial surface water flood forecasting alert system. We would like to thank the community and landowner who have been engaged throughout, and the partners we have worked with: University of Exeter, University of Plymouth, Westcountry Rivers Trust, Kisters and JBA consulting.
Watch our video we produced about our work in Stokeinteignhead, and our second video showcasing how it is impacting the community one year later.
