The case for catchment wide flood risk approaches to include protection at the level of individual properties

Aug 10, 2016

 

In an article for Water & Wastewater Treatment, Honorary Vice-President of CIWEM, Alastair Moseley puts forward the case for whole the catchment approach to flood risk to include protection at the level of individual properties.

He says, "Property level protection offers water companies an opportunity to reduce flood mitigation solution cost through a balanced catchment management approach that includes targeted property level protection balanced with associated smaller scale hydraulic improvements to the sewer network. At the same time a higher degree of customer satisfaction is possible leading to a lower SIM score, positive ODI outcomes and significant cost savings."
