Technical assessment boundaries behind the abstraction licensing strategies Cycle 2

The technical assessment boundaries are used to define which water resource demands fall into each technical assessment. They are used to look at the balance between society, the economy and the environment. The technical assessment helps identify where water may be available for future use but also where water resource demands may be impacting the water balance. The technical assessment boundaries should be used on a national (England) scale. Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2016. All rights reserved.
