© Adobe Stock Farmers have warned they face major disruption from the Environment Agency’s (EA) decision to withdraw water abstraction rights to protect wildlife on the Norfolk Broads. The EA has announced changes to water abstraction licences held by 20 businesses in the Ant Valley, which means farmers will need to find different sources of water by 2024. Fruit and vegetable growers in the area say the plans are potentially devastating, as they will lose water facilities they have used for years. In its announcement on 23 June the EA said licences would be revoked, reduced or constrained to bring abstraction back to sustainable levels after evidence showed that “current abstraction levels may be causing damage to the environment”.
