NIDP FLOODING PROJECT

Ushaw Moor

We are currently undertaking a Stage One Northumbria Intergrated Drainage Partnership (NIDP) study in Ushaw Moor. This involves the 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 One 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.

Update by Loren Jennings

Good morning, everyone.  My name is Loren and I am the project manager at Northumbrian Water for our strategic study in Ushaw Moor.

The goal of these studies is to find where flood risk overlaps from various sources, such as sewers, highway drainage or watercourses.  With this information, we can then identify projects which can be built in partnership between Durham County Council, Northumbrian Water and the Environment Agency.
