Supporting Environment Agency Abstraction Licence Holders — From Compliance to Confidence
At H2Ogeo, we understand that managing an Environment Agency (EA) abstraction licence can be complex. Whether you’re a farm, golf course, estate, industrial operator or developer, the obligations that come with holding a licence — from monitoring and reporting to renewals and variations — can feel daunting.
That’s where we come in.
Expert Support with Licence Conditions and Monitoring
Every abstraction licence includes conditions designed to protect local water resources. These can involve metered volume limits, seasonal restrictions, hands-off flow requirements, or groundwater level trigger monitoring.
H2Ogeo provides end-to-end support to help you stay compliant and informed:
Design and installation of monitoring systems – from manual dip-meter surveys to automated groundwater loggers.
Regular data collection and reporting – ensuring your returns to the EA are accurate, timely, and audit-ready.
Interpretation and trend analysis – turning raw data into actionable insight to demonstrate responsible water use and identify optimisation opportunities.
We act as your technical representative, liaising directly with the Environment Agency to clarify licence conditions, negotiate practical monitoring approaches, and ensure your operational realities are properly understood.
Representing Your Interests
Many licence holders underestimate the importance of having a hydrogeologist represent their interests in EA discussions. Whether it’s responding to compliance queries, reviewing proposed licence variations, or defending abstraction rights, we ensure that your data and your case are robustly presented.
We’ve worked with a wide range of clients across the South East — from private estates to water-dependent businesses — providing transparent, professional advocacy rooted in over 20 years of groundwater experience.
