The Anglian River Basin District covers almost 28,000 km2 from Lincolnshire in the north to Essex in the south, and Northamptonshire in the west to the East Anglian coast. In total over 7.1 million people live and work within the district. The Anglian River Basin District is a key tourist destination, particularly for water recreation with a significant number of visits by boaters, beach goers and anglers. The Norfolk Broads is the largest protected wetland in Britain and has an estimated economic value of £200 million per year. It is crucial to the economy of the district.
