Exclusive Features - UK Floods
Has the UK reached saturation point?
Could your house be at risk from flooding? It would take just one local river to burst it's banks for your own home to be immersed in water. Just one day of heavy rain for us to loose all our worldly belongings; but rather than decreasing the risk we are now building more houses on flood plains than ever before.
According to a new country-wide assessment, more than 550,000 properties in England and Wales, with a combined value in excess of £100billion, are at significant risk of flooding. As global warming threatens to increase the frequency of flooding events, what efforts are being made to keep the water from our doors?
Geographical Magazine presents this hard hitting special report into the crisis that could be about to unfold. With poignant photography and detailed factual information this is an essential guide to the future of the growing number of homes being built on floodplains.
We cover all aspects of the flood risk including:
- Identification of flood risk areas
- The causes of flooding in both urban and rural areas
- History of Flooding in the UK
- The 'Holistic' approach to flood defences
- The long term effort
