This two-day course provides background into flood risk and its relevance to river management and development planning and complements the “Introduction to hydrology and hydraulics” training course.
It will introduce the concepts of flood risk analysis and management within the context of current UK policies and legislation, drawing on the experience of the tutors. Current techniques in considering climate change will be outlined, as will latest guidance on producing flood risk assessments. Due to the size of the subject, the course will focus on river and urban flooding. However, much of the course content will have relevance to tidal and coastal flooding too.
The course is suitable for recent graduates, consultants, local authority staff, development control and flood defence officers, and for specialists from other disciplines involved in river and catchment management. Some background knowledge of hydrology and/or hydraulics would be helpful which are covered on the “Introduction to river hydrology and hydraulics course”.
