- The Environment Agency seeks a supplier to deliver a Local Resource Option (LRO) Screening Study for a group of ten farms located east of Norwich, Norfolk, covering 3,515 ha (with 965 ha currently irrigated). These farms specialise in high-value irrigated crops (e.g., potatoes, onions, carrots, herbs, sugar beet, grapes, and daffodils) and cereals, with water abstraction being critical for production.
