SRA Annual Report 2025-26: Somerset’s main river catchments
A catchment is an area of land from which water – especially rainwater – drains and flows down into streams, rivers, lakes and often the sea.
Somerset has five main river catchments.
The SRA analyses these catchments to understand problems with excessive amounts of flood water.
The SRA selects issues about which it can do most in line with its objectives.
The SRA funds proposals which duly benefit Somerset people and places, through SRA Enhanced Programmes of works, set out in the Annual Report 2025-26 in five workstreams.
The SRA also runs a Community Flood Action Fund.
