Responding to flood risk

Reducing flood waters: flood abatementKeeping the water out of harms’ way:• Flood storage• Flood conveyance• Flood defenceReducing the damage potential• Land use planning• Property-level protection• Flood warning and evacuationEnabling recovery from damaging floods• Insurance

Responding to risks of water shortage

Increasing water supply: • Reservoirs• Transfers• Groundwater• Desalination• Direct reuseReducing water demand• Leakage• Domestic• Industrial• Agricultural

Water companies plan to address supply demand deficits

There is greater scope to improve resilience by reducing demand

Next steps for the ASC
13
June 2013: Fourth ASC annual report, focusing on the natural environment, including catchments and coasts
November 2013: Defra publishes the first National Adaptation Programme (NAP)
2015: ASC makes its first statutory assessment to Parliament on progress made in implementing the NAP
