An innovative new fund designed to mobilise investment in nature-based projects that can bolster water security in East Anglia was formally launched today, in a bid to raise £30m to deliver a series of pilot projects.

The Norfolk Water Fund is the result of a partnership between Norfolk County Council, Anglian Water, The Nature Conservancy and Water Resources East. It aims to attract public, private, and philanthropic investment in project that can tackle the county’s water scarcity, water quality, and flood risk management challenges.
