Friends of the Ems is fighting to save our river.
Here's our initial proposal for action, sent to the Environment Agency and Portsmouth Water.
- Up to 2025 - Portsmouth Water to reduce or stop abstraction when groundwater levels fall below an agreed point.
- From 2025 - Portsmouth Water to significantly reduce or stop abstraction, permanently, to try to achieve a natural flow in the river.
