Reclaiming
the Rain in FRISTON
Friston is a village in Suffolk, located approximately two miles from the coast, and is known for its beautiful architecture, including the 16th Century historic Friston Hall
flooding in the centre of the Village
Friston is a beautiful village in south Suffolk which, like many villages, faces difficult challenges from changing weather patterns. In the future it’s likely Friston will face both flooding and drought, so it’s important to be ready to manage the effects.
Recent flood risk studies of Friston found there’s risk to residential and commercial buildings from both surface water and river flooding. This means that planning ahead to increase resilience in the village is very important, and also raises fantastic opportunities to find new ways to use flood water.
Water Scarcity
As our climate changes, the country will face increasing challenges in managing our water resources, and this is important for Friston too. Whether looking at fresh water supply to buildings, or water dependent habitats in the environment, it’s vital to protect what we have and improve it wherever we can.
Problems and Challenges facing FRISTON
“Friston sits in a bowl and in heavy rain silt-laden water pours off the surrounding fields and travels down to the centre of the village causing widespread flooding.”
