Should we change our approach to river and floodplain management in the future?

How should the flood management of the Thames Gateway development be managed for the future?




1. Where is the Thames Gateway?

 

As Western Europe's largest regeneration programme, the Thames Gateway is 40 miles long and 20 miles wide. It is located in the SE of England, towards the estuary of the River Thames. It spans from the Isle of Dogs to the Kent and Essex coasts, linking London and the rest of the UK with Europe.

2. How will the area be re-developed? 

3. What settlements are found in the area?

4. How often are the settlements at risk from flooding and to what level are they flooded?


5. What are the possible impacts of climate change in the Thames Gateway area?

                 - What is climate change?
                 - How will it affect the Thames Gateway?

6. What flood defences exist in the Thames Gateway? How is the Thames Gateway managed?


7. What are the proposals for the future in terms of flood management and climate change?


8. How effective do you think these options are?

    Who are the winners and losers?
    Can you offer alternative solutions?
