The Boards drainage district extends to an area of 11,250 hectares which is
formed predominantly of the coastal strip extending from the Humber Bridge
southwards to Cleethorpes. The area no longer under agricultural cultivation
is some 3800 hectares which gives an indication as to the extent to which the
drainage district has developed.
The drainage of the district is dependant upon both gravity outfalls and pumping
to the Humber Estuary. Within the district the Board are responsible for a total
of 130km of watercourses of which 27km are vital to the protection of intensely
developed areas with a high standard of maintenance required to protect the huge
investment and maintain confidence in the area for existing and potential
interests.
