Coven
Coven, a village within South Staffordshire, is located alongside the River Penk and its network of local watercourse tributaries including the Saredon Brook and Watershed Brook. As a result, parts of the area have experienced issues related to watercourse and surface water flooding.
The community of Coven experiences impacts from surface water flooding as well as risks related to several watercourses surrounding the village. To reduce this risk, a series of small flood water retention basins were delivered near the local primary school, to temporarily store surface water during heavy rainfall events. This small scheme is helping to reduce flood impacts and contributes to local flood resilience across the village. This community page displays real-time monitoring from sensors installed by FAIR, including data from a newly installed weather station and water level sensors.
