Operation Watershed

Have you seen our Operation Watershed page?

Following flooding in the county during 2012/13, West Sussex County Council (WSCC) resolved to address issues with the drainage infrastructure including:

  • the riparian ditch network
  • damage to roads
  • improving resilience to protect homes, businesses and highways.

The response was the creation of ‘Operation Watershed’, within which the Active Communities Fund was launched.

Since the establishment of Operation Watershed, WSCC has successfully supported local communities by funding over 400 projects to a value in excess of £4m, and worked with nearly 150 groups.

Operation Watershed now has a further £400,000 via the Active Communities Fund 2024/25 to support community groups interested in delivering capital projects to reduce the risk and impacts of flooding in their area.
