The Environment Agency is developing and implementing water abstraction licensing strategies for multiple river catchments across England to manage water resources sustainably and balance competing demands. These strategies set out how the Agency will manage abstraction licences in specific regions including the Colne, Tamar, Severn, Tame, Anker, Mease, Arun and Western Streams. The strategies are active and being rolled out across different water management areas.
