Water
Water is vital for life, so we need to use and manage it
effectively. The River Stour, which flows through Ashford, has
demonstrated its dynamic character with episodes of both extreme
low flows and severe flooding.
In 2003 the government funded an Ashford Integrated Water
Management Study (AIWMS) to plan exactly how the environment can
accommodate the growth of housing and employment, whilst still
conserving our ecological heritage.
