	While the River Derwent, which flows through the Vale of Pickering, is a very important source of potable water in the region, there is 'no water available' for increased abstraction (Natural England, 2015<ref name="Natural England">NATURAL ENGLAND. 2015.

	The main use of water within the Derwent catchment is for aquaculture, accounting for two thirds of the water abstracted. This water is mostly non consumptive and therefore classed as throughflow. Public water supply accounts for about a quarter of the total licenced volume within the Derwent catchment (Environment Agency, 2013). Groundwater is also abstracted for spray irrigation, industrial, domestic and agricultural uses.
