Fluvial and pluvial flooding in recent years within Bradford has resulted in the establishment of an independent enquiry into flood management by the District Council. The enquiry has identified a number of issues that must be addressed if the Council and the other key stakeholders are to act effectively to reduce the impact of flooding. The Council is working alongside researchers and other partners in research projects to improve flood risk management and to investigate the impact of climate change on urban storm drainage. Two EU funded Interreg projects in which the Council is a partner are providing data inputs and case study sites for the research. A strategic approach to urban flood risk management is being developed and this is compatible with proposals set out in a recent Government consultation document (Defra, 2004). The formulation of the strategic approach and the case studies have helped to identify end user requirements for the research outputs. It has also helped to identify the institutional barriers within an integrated framework. It will be necessary for the government and other national stakeholders who develop policy and control funding to take appropriate action if an effective integrated approach is to be adopted. |
