Direct benefits information:
Reduced requirements for sewer system and waste water treatment capacity
Ancillary benefits information:
Potential for recreational activities in the water courses that will be created (e.g. canoeing and ice skating)
Costs investment information:
Costs of the water management aspects of the project not quantified (incorporated with overall development)
Costs operation maintenance:
Costs of the water management aspects of the project not quantified (incorporated with overall development)
Costs total information:
Costs of the water management aspects of the project not quantified (incorporated with overall development)
Information on Ecosystem improved biodiversity:
Biodiversity will be improved through improved water quality in surface water courses.
In the scheme as a whole, many new water features, including channels and lakes, will be created to provide maximum biodiversity opportinites, taking account of the requirements of target species.
Ecosystem provisioning services:
Information on Ecosystem provisioning services:
Information on Ecosystem water supply:
Increased infiltration to groundwater
Ecosystem impact climate regulation:
Reduced energy use (farm operations)
Information on Ecosystem impact climate regulation:
In overall scheme, there will be a probable reduction in pumping requirements compared to the existing agricultural water management system.
