Water Management Consortium
The Water Management Consortium covers a total area 120,106 hectares of land. Our work helps keep communities safe from flooding, supports local agriculture, and protects the environment.
We are made up of four Internal Drainage Boards (IDBs):
•Lindsey Marsh Drainage Board (LM)
•Isle of Axholme & North Nottinghamshire Water Level Management Board (AX)
•Trent Valley Internal Drainage Board (TV)
•Doncaster East Internal Drainage Board (DE)
What is an IDB?
Internal Drainage Boards are public organisations that manage water levels in areas where drainage is especially important. They conduct essential work to reduce flood risk to people and property and maintain the right water levels for agricultural and environmental needs within their district.
​
These Boards have entered a formal agreement to share support services, to reduce costs. Even though we work together, each Board remains independent and responsible for:
•overseeing drainage and water management of land in its area
•setting objectives, strategy and policies
•managing budgets, rates, finance and audit
•compliance with statutory and regulatory responsibilities
•planning and delivering operational activities and capital works programmes
​
​
Our mission, vision and values guide the way we work, the decision we make and the standards we set.
