Quarry Dewatering: A New Era
February 10, 2020
Understanding the new water abstraction licensing regime and its implications in England and Wales.
Our Water Management Specialist, James Dodds has been published in the February edition of Quarry Management. The special report delves into the new water abstraction licensing regime and its implications in England and Wales.
As of January 2018 all quarries now require abstraction licences for dewatering as well as the ancillary uses. By the end of June 2020 all abstractions should have been covered by a validated Transitional Provisions abstraction licence application. However, under new requirements specified in this report you may be required to submit an application for “New Water”.
Join Deborah and read the special report here.
Envireau Water are the leaders in New Water Licensing. Our relationship with the Environment Agency and Natural Resources Wales built over many years of negotiating licences enables us to find effective solutions and push boundaries. Get in touch with James Dodds to discuss an application on
01332 871 882 or JamesDodds@envireauwater.co.uk.

As much as we all love the sunshine and have been embracing the recent warmer weather spell across the UK, the prolonged dry conditions are now raising concerns that England may be at risk of a potential drought this summer. Following an exceptionally sunny and dry April, which experienced just over 56% of usual rainfall, the start of May was also the warmest on record, surpassing the previous high set in 1990. With water resources already strained, it is more important than ever that proactive measures are promptly adopted to mitigate this risk, promote water conservation and avoid the potential for future restrictions. We asked Principal Water Resources Specialist, Tamsin Morey , for her thoughts on the matter... Tamsin, what dangers are we already seeing in the UK?
