Spring Meet and AGM: Managing the wettest drought: lots of water, lots of change

Austin Court, Birmingham 

Overview

The landscape of flood risk management is changing: the Flood and Water Management Act (2010) continues to be implemented, giving local authorities greater responsibilities for flood risk management and placing a greater emphasis on partnership working between organisations.  Defra funding policy, looking for local contributions towards flood alleviation schemes enters into its second year, the organisational structure for environmental delivery in Wales is changing and legislation relating to the wider water environment and water industry continues to evolve.

This is against the backdrop of recent flood events: severe summer storms causing flash flooding, intense and prolonged rainfall resulting in widescale flooding of our river systems, including the Severn, Trent and Ouse, coastal flooding, groundwater flooding and most recently flooding exacerbated by snowmelt particularly affecting parts of Wales.

This event will give delegates an understanding and appreciation of the challenges and issues facing Lead Local Flood Authorities and partnership organisations including District and Borough Councils, Internal Drainage Boards, Water Companies and the Environment Agency as responsibilities for local flood risk management continue to grow and develop. 

Objectives

• To provide an opportunity to share experiences in implementing a flood risk management service: how organisations have made it happen
• To provide a forum for sharing issues and challenges that have arisen and how these have been overcome
• To explore the practical approaches that Risk Management Authorities have taken
• To discuss necessary skills and resources
