The Environment Agency is developing abstraction licensing strategies for water resources across multiple river catchments and regions in England, including Hull and East Riding, Yorkshire Derwent, London, Aire and Calder, Tamar, and Alt Crossens. These strategies govern how much water can be extracted from surface and groundwater sources for public supply, agriculture, and industry.
