Expect excessive rainfall and flash flooding in Champlain Valley and Northern Vermont today due to an intensifying weather system. Please avoid travel if possible, be alert for flood warnings, and prepare for potential evacuation. #FloodRisk #VTwx #SevereWeather #WPC #flashflood #wx #weather

After so long needing a strategic vision for #SuDS in London, things are coming together to make it happen. Now it's really important to find a chair with the focus and vision to lead it. https://apply-for-public-appointment.service.gov.uk/roles/7500?utm_campaign=13988834_LEDNet%20Update%2023%2F06%2F23&utm_medium=email&utm_source=London%20Councils&dm_t=0,0,0,0,0

A relatively well informed article about the Thames Estuary 2100 Plan Thames Estuary 2100! They do miss reasons for why the plan is adaptive & one can't/wouldn't want to just start building a new barrier right away. Also not enough emphasis on walls & embankments https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jun/30/before-the-flood-how-much-longer-will-the-thames-barrier-protect-london

Once-a-century extreme precipitation could occur every 30 years in the US by 2100, according to a new study. The researchers used climate models and historical data to project how the frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall events will change under different warming scenarios. The study warns that such events could pose serious risks for flooding, infrastructure damage, and public health, especially in urban areas.

A potent report on #California's massive #floodrisk challenge (along with that pesky megadrought challenge). Just this.. "Most of the state’s more than 20,000 miles of flood banks and channels are operated by local governments, and many miles are on unregulated private land."

Such an important point about building mapping methods that are adaptive facing evolving data streams, science insights and community needs - @deepseadawn of course.

#Dams, #floodRisk, #seaLevelRise, highways and trains.
I want all the dams (all obsolete) on the #BronxRiver taken down.
Looking for motivation to get MetroNorth and various DOTs to pay and advocate dam removal, sediment testing, before and after monitoring, etc.

The above sparked the thought that maybe there should be economic studies on impact of Fenland farmland being out of action. What would 25% of the Fens being unable to produce food mean for prices?
I asked ChatGPT - no firm answer but seems likely there are mean to estimate it! Full chat here, also a good example of the power of ChatGPT too https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zKEC0E3kv2hSQbkXtmJq05ILxaQJA91tEFzSunuij7E

Big seawalls cutting people off from the water? This same thing could happen in London if we don't get serious about delivering the Thames Estuary 2100 Plan now! It's not just about a new Thames Barrier. London still has a chance to design good waterfronts. But time is running out. https://buff.ly/3QFKx7h

Hi everyone
I'm a #drainage and #floodrisk engineer, working across the UK from a base in #Sheffield. Experienced in design, monitoring and modelling using #Autocad #Civil3d, #InfoWorks, #Microdrainage, #HECRAS, and #Excel. Old enough to do things by hand if necessary.
Active with the Sheaf & Porter Rivers Trust working to improve Sheffield's rivers.
Would rather be up a hill admiring the view.
