The NIDP Partnership has completed Stage 1 and 2 of our study process investigating integrated flood risk. We have identified four areas in South Stanley and Craghead which we are going to take forward to Stage 3. This will see us carrying out further survey and investigation work on site, completing an outline design and submitting our funding applications.
Stage 1 of the study process comprises issue identification and prioritisation.
The project team carry out collection, collation and analysis of existing flooding data from all sources to define issues and opportunities for integrated working between Northumbrian Water, the Environment Agency and the Local Authority. Stage 1 allows us to identify all of the flooding issues in a drainage catchment, whether these are sewer flooding, surface water flooding from overland flow or flooding from watercourses and rank them in order of priority based on the number of homes they impact.
