[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7527913, member: 2119"] I'm confused. I was considering applying for a water abstraction licence from one of the watercourses that runs through the farm. I have read through the EA Abstraction Licensing Strategy for my area (Lincolnshire) and it implies that no licences will be granted as water availability is restricted even at times of maximum flow (Q30) and that the only way to gain any abstraction would be to buy unused rights off a current holder. How can this possibly make sense when we had massive flows through here for much of the winter and folk downstream living in fear of banks overtopping, plus they have had to build a flood sacrifice area just downstream of us before the town? Surely allowing us to fill a reservoir at times of high flow during the winter would help everybody? It just doesn't make sense to me, but if that's how it is then that's how it is and I don't want to waste time on an application. [/QUOTE]
