Riparian Responsibilities

This is the time of year when we need to think about the state of Hampshire’s land drainage network. As the season for rainier days approaches and leaves begin to fall, all riparian owners (those who have watercourses on or bordering their land) across Hampshire, should be checking the state of drainage ditches, pipes, culverts that carry watercourses to ensure there is unobstructed conveyance of surface (rain) water to reduce the risk of localised flooding.  

Please find below the link to a leaflet/poster detailing what responsibilities riparian owners have and guidance on how to undertake this maintenance to reduce flooding from surface water. Please also review our updated web pages on flood prevention where there is a video about riparian responsibility and clearer advice on riparian responsibilities and ditch maintenance:

You can report flooding via the link ‘Report flooding’ on our website or emailing us at fwm@hants.gov.uk

To reduce the risk of future flooding we would also appreciate being informed of any planned, ongoing or recent works to install a culvert, pipe or infill/realign a ditch (i.e. an ordinary watercourse) so that we can check that a land drainage consent is in place for those works. Please see ‘Making changes to a watercourse’ for further details.

Hampshire Flooding Community Toolkit Over the last twelve months we have seen a record number of named storms, above average rainfall and significant flooding affecting communities across Hampshire. With this changing climate, it is important to be prepared for flooding. However, this it is a complex area with different bodies taking responsibility for managing different sources of flood risk and as an ALC we have been inputting to the Community Resilience form work on this. 

The Flood and Water Management team in Hampshire County Council has prepared a ‘Community Toolkit’. This is designed to provide information in a single location on the different types of flooding, who it should be reported to, and clarification on roles and responsibilities. It also identifies how individuals and communities can take action to understand their flood risk and what they can do to make themselves more resilient. This is now available to view on the website at Managing flood risk  Managing flood risk.
