The River Lugg Internal Drainage Board is responsible for water level management and watercourse maintenance in a defined geographical area which encompasses low-lying land within the catchments of the Rivers Lugg, Arrow and Frome. This area of rich agricultural land is dependant upon well-maintained drainage systems.

The Board's rateable area comprises 11,130 ha. with 176 km. of scheduled watercourses, which are generally arterial watercourses with more than one riparian owner. Most of these watercourses are subject to regular maintenance with the others receiving attention on a less regular basis, as required.

The largest urban development within the district is the town of Leominster, parts of which are at risk of flooding, with smaller flood-prone settlements at Pembridge, Eardisland, Bodenham, Wellington, Withington Marsh and Hampton Bishop.

On 1 April 2008, the River Lugg Internal Drainage Board joined an alliance of five other Internal Drainage Boards administered by Caldicot and Wentlooge Levels Internal Drainage Board, which provides the River Lugg Board with financial, engineering and environmental services.
