Description
The objective of this project is to better understand to what extent recently delivered flood alleviation schemes in England have been designed to support the long-term reduction in residual flood risk.
The specific aims of this project are to review a sample of the major schemes contributing towards the delivery of better flood protection to 180,000 households over the 2010/11 to 2014/15 period and understand:
1. The impact of the flood alleviation schemes in managing long-term flood risks, by assessing the current and future standard of protection achieved by the scheme in comparison to what was in place previously. This would include considering how climate change has been factored in to the scheme design, for example the allowances included for future sea level rise or increase in peak river flows at the outset. 2. The extent to which future options to upgrade defence standards are included as an explicit element of the scheme design, for example identified upgrade paths and trigger points consistent with taking a âmanaged adaptiveâ approach. 3. The justification provided to support the choice of the particular engineering solution(s) and standard of protection against other options. 4. To what extent the schemes work with natural processes and deliver co-climate change adaptation co-benefits, such as the creation or restoration of habitats that help absorb heavy rainfall or wave energy, or natural flood management techniques such as rewilding, tree-planting, more natural hydromorphology. 5. The consistency of these schemes with sub-national flood risk strategies i.e. the immediate and longer-term risk management policies identified for the area within catchment management plans, shoreline management plans, and the 2014 Long-Term Investment Scenarios.
