## Description
The overarching objective for this project is to improve the Environment Agency’s capability to regulate, manage and protect water resources of the Sherwood Sandstone Principal Aquifer. The project aims to do this by improving the conceptualisation of the Sherwood Sandstone using the updated geological knowledge from the recent British Geological Survey’s investigations in the Yorkshire area, and from the newly created gridded 3D geological models. The updated conceptualisation of the aquifer (undertaken in Phase 1) should be used to generate an updated, unified, reliable numerical groundwater model covering both the Sherwood Sandstone Principal Aquifer of the East Midlands and the Yorkshire areas.
