Examples of Funding
The South Tyne Holistic Water Management Project represented a novel approach to improve river water quality.
Organisations from across the South Tyne area were bought together through 22 distinct projects to improve the local environment and river health in local communities.
The Project started in April 2020, partly in response to flooding experienced by downstream Tyne communities during extreme weather, and partly to address fine sediment in river water which was affecting water pumps near to Ovingham.
Delivery, led by Northumbrian Water, included many different schemes from scientific studies to find the biggest sources of fine sediment, to ‘slow-the-flow’ schemes, all the way to full-scale river restoration all with the aim of improving the health of the River Tyne.
