    About

    The Tees Sherwood Sandstone groundwater body lies beneath a corridor of the lower river Tees between Hurworth-on-Tees and Teesmouth and is designated as a drinking water protected area. This groundwater remains at good status although localised areas of pollution exist and there is a risk from saline intrusion and nitrate contamination.
