Water which would normally be pumped away into Suffolk's River Deben, is now being reused in a new scheme near Felixstowe - the first of its kind in the UK.
Each year, hundreds of thousands of tonnes of drainage water which fills land near the river's estuary is pumped away. This pumping process can also damage precious saltmarsh and mudflats, which are important habitats and part of the local ecosystem.
