Somerset Rivers Authority (SRA) was launched in January 2015 as a response to the floods of winter 2013-14, which caused misery and devastation to Somerset’s people and communities.
The SRA’s purpose is to give Somerset an extra level of flood protection and resilience, as set out in Somerset’s 20 Year Flood Action Plan.
The SRA is a partnership. Only in Somerset do so many different bodies work so closely together to tackle flooding problems.
Partners in the SRA are Mendip District Council, Sedgemoor District Council, Somerset County Council, Somerset West and Taunton Council, South Somerset District Council, the Environment Agency, the Parrett and Axe-Brue Internal Drainage Boards, Natural England and Wessex Regional Flood & Coastal Committee.
The SRA also works closely with the Farming & Wildlife Advisory Group SouthWest, particularly as part of the national award-winning Hills to Levels project, and with a wide range of other bodies. These include parish and town councils, the National Trust and Westcountry Rivers Trust, Quantocks AONB, Wessex Water, Somerset Catchment Partnership, Somerset Wildlife Trust and the Co-Adapt Adapting the Levels project.
