The RAIN Project

Creating Flood Resilient Communities in Northamptonshire

RAIN is transforming flood risk management in Northamptonshire with a groundbreaking, collaborative approach to water resilience.

Through collaboration and innovative work, local communities and farmers unite to safeguard homes and land from flooding. Led by Sarah Parr, the Flood Innovation Project Manager, explore how RAIN’s strategies are making a tangible difference, both in Northamptonshire and beyond.

By fostering collaboration and pioneering new solutions, RAIN is not only addressing flood risks but also strengthening communities for a more resilient future.

About the RAIN Project

The Resilience and Innovation Northants (RAIN) project, led by West and North Northamptonshire Councils, promotes innovation in flood resilience and climate adaptation. RAIN collaborates with residents, communities, and landowners to trial new flood risk measures in the Harpers Brook and Wootton Brook catchments.

*Disclaimer: This project is funded by DEFRA as part of the £200 million Flood and Coastal Innovation Programme which is managed by the Environment Agency. The Programme will drive innovation in flood and coastal resilience and adaptation to a changing climate.
