Description: |
Wide ranging studies and investigations were carried out to look at how tidal flood risk is increasing in the Thames estuary due to ageing flood defence structures; climate change and rising sea levels; as well as more people living and working in the floodplain. The Thames Estuary 2100 Plan is the first major flood risk management project in the UK to have changing climate adaptation at its core. [Source: Environment Agency (United Kingdom)]
