The insurance industry hinges upon who has the best estimates of risk – with pricing of policies optimised against the probability and magnitude of claims. While in the past, these estimates of risk have been based upon past claims by policyholders, new models from the natural sciences, including hydro-meteorological hazards, have transformed the property insurance market. In other financial sectors, eg fund managers, there has been a major drive to better understand and quantify water related risks to investments.

Salmon disappeared from the River Irwell in the 1850s and rowing races were abandoned in the 1970s.
