The Next Big UK Flood: Britain Under Water - Professor Carolyn Roberts
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 27 Νοε 2015
Serious flooding and the water security of the nation’s water are Professor Roberts’ topics in this lecture: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and...
What
are the odds that events will conspire to put London under water during
the next few years? Are the catastrophic Summer 2007 floods in the
English Midlands and the recent events of southeast England harbingers
of worse to come, particularly as the climate shifts?
Serious
flooding poses major challenges to the UK's security, despite changes in
the way we try to manage both water and damage.
The lecture will
review the UK's recent experiences and explore how management and
infrastructural improvements are being attempted. Can science,
technology and collaboration reduce our vulnerability to floods?
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and...
