Reclaiming
the Rain in THOMPSON

flooding in the centre of the Village

Thompson is a beautiful village in Breckland, Norfolk which, like many villages, faces difficult challenges from changing weather patterns. In the future it’s likely Thompson will face both flooding and drought, so it’s important to be ready to manage the effects.

Flooding

Recent flood reports involving Thompson show that there is a risk to residential properties from surface water flows. 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 Thompson 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.
