The project provides an economic assessment of the role, effectiveness and the costs and benefits of property level flood protection.
This project set out the scope and plans for the Defra and Environment Agency research programme focused on broad scale modelling
A project to develop a new method of validating probabilistic flood model results and trial new methods of conducting local probabilistic flood risk assessments.
This report examined how ex-post evaluation is currently carried out to assess flood and coastal erosion risk management schemes, and how it could be improved.
This project collected and analysed data about structural elements, such as culverts, gates, flaps and pumps, and the effects of them failing.
This study explored current practice in assurance of flood risk modelling, and any changes required.
Guidance on how the Environment Agency should handle landscape and environmental design issues in the development of capital projects.
A review of the range of ways of estimating afflux used in the UK and other countries, and the supporting science.
This review aimed to improve surface water flood risk management by establishing an overview of local approaches.
This project used new data about urban development to create a new tool (URBEXT2000) for the Flood Estimation Handbook (FEH).
This project commissioned an editor to create and edit the bi-annual newsletter for the flood and coastal erosion defence industry.
This project reviewed current methods of forecasting floods on coasts and identified how they could be improved, including any research needed.
A research roadmap for local flood risk, covering flooding from surface water, groundwater and ordinary watercourses.
A project to develop a new rainfall product using merged rain-gauge data and data from the radar network in near real time to improve the accuracy and lead times of flood warnings.
This project made it possible to separate estimates of sea level rises due to climate change. These rises were due to the subsiding land where the benchmarks were placed.
This project researches the processes and legislation required to carry out the Flood and Water Management Act’s requirement for risk-based regulation of reservoirs.
A project investigating the extent to which the flooding in October and November 2000 was caused by climate change.
A knowledge review of beaches with mixed types of sediment and techniques to predict how they’ll respond to physical influences.
A research programme investigating the methods for predicting how the shape of coasts will change over long periods.
This project improved the way rises in sea levels are assessed by measuring how much the land at tide gauges moves up and down. A project using GPS and absolute gravity.
