Surface Water Management Plans



Surface Water Management Plans (SWMPs) are strategic documents to understand flood risk from surface runoff, groundwater, and ordinary watercourses.

These are produced in collaboration with other authorities, including the districts and boroughs, internal drainage boards, and sewerage companies.

These SWMPs aim to identify local flood risk issues, what options there may be to prevent them, and who should be taking these options forward. This is all presented in an action plan that the involved authorities agree on.

Each of the SWMPs are available to download below:
