Defence, Resilience and ATTENUATION . . .

” . . .   abide these three, but the greatest of these (for the wellbeing of communities) is ATTENUATION . . .”  (with apologies to 1 Corinthians 13:13)

 

Stakeholders in flood prevention weave diffuse threads of support and wellbeing for communities

 

• Water Supply Industry (more . . .  )
• Designers of transport infrastructure (more . . . )
• Academia (evidence,  modelling,  assessment)
• Public Interest Groups
• Floodplain managers (national and local  more . . . )
• Forestry (more . . .  )
• Agriculture (more . . .  )
• Insurance Industry (more . . . )

Policy and governance become more robust as they draw together such diverse threads,  ensuring as they do so that rivers are valued and managed as conveyors of a clean critical natural asset (capable of multiple benefit in both drought and flood), not despised as drainage channels of the commercially developed  environment.
