South East Water have made an application to the Environment Agency to cut by roughly half the minimum flow on the Ouse and Cuckmere Rivers here in Sussex so that they can refill the drought ravaged Ardingly and Arlington reservoirs.
According to the Environment Agency the current "minimum permitted flows are the lowest required to protect fish and other wildlife". The Sussex Wildlife Trust are quoted as saying "increased abstraction could affect Sea Trout and Brown Trout which are about to begin their migration to spawning grounds in the upper parts of the Ouse".
The Environment agency are consulting on the application until November 12.
I will scan in the copy from the paper at work tomorrow and save it as a pdf file. If anyone would like a copy, send me an email and I will send you a copy.
