The purpose of Operation Watershed is to support people in their local communities who want to work with the County Council to become more prepared for, or to reduce the risk of, flooding. Local groups are encouraged to apply for funding to finance schemes and projects of all sizes as a way of achieving this.
£0.300m is allocated for Operation Watershed in 2021/22 and a further £2.604m in the Capital Programme 2022/23 to 2026/27 agreed by Full Council in February 2022, including carry forward from previous years. In this period six full applications have been received and evaluated totalling £95,625.42 and are set out in Appendix A.
