        About

        The Tees Carboniferous Limestone and Millstone Grit groundwater body lies beneath the upper Tees catchment to the west of Gainford and is designated as a drinking water protected area. This groundwater fails to achieve good status due to metal mine discharges impacting the Harwood and Hudeshope Becks and Eggleston Burn catchments in Upper Teesdale. This groundwater is also at risk from nitrate contamination.
