Southern Water has designated the West Sussex village of Bosham as the focus of its latest pilot project, aimed at implementing innovative nature-based and engineering solutions to reduce storm overflows.
Bosham becomes the seventh initiative undertaken by the company’s Clean Rivers and Seas Task Force, building on lessons from successful pilots in Kent, Hampshire, and the Isle of Wight. Known for its scenic views of Chichester Harbour, Bosham faces significant issues with groundwater during the wetter months, often leading to overwhelmed private and Southern Water pipelines.
