Let’s Talk Groundwater Flooding

Let’s Talk Groundwater Flooding – a national network created by three Project Groundwater teams across England – has partnered with Aardman Animation, the multi-award-winning studio behind Wallace and Gromit, to highlight the devastating impact of groundwater flooding with a new short film, Darcy’s Tale.
The animation follows Darcy, a lonely mole looking for love, who is suddenly swept away by rising groundwater. The film aims to raise awareness of groundwater flooding, an often-overlooked issue, and highlight the importance of communities and flood industry professionals working together to be better prepared.
The national network was created to change how groundwater flooding is managed by bringing together flood industry experts to share learning, drive policy change, and increase community resilience. The projects are funded by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, as part of the government’s £200 million flood and coastal innovation programmes, and managed by the Environment Agency.
