Future Water
Future water refers to the consideration of projected climate change impacts, such as increased peak river flows and rainfall intensity, when assessing flood risk and designing mitigation measures over the lifetime of a development. Speak with a consultant to ensure your site is assessed against up-to-date future climate projections as required by the GOV.UK climate change allowances guidance.
Case Example
A site near a river may be in Flood Zone 2 today, but when future climate change allowances are applied in the FRA, it is treated as higher risk, requiring stricter layout design and finished floor levels to ensure long-term safety.
Account for future risk. Rida Reports applies climate scenarios in your Flood Risk Assessment.
