Floods have certainly hit Britain bad this year, and it could be seen as the way to solve such disasters occurring in the future. It is said to be a high up on the priority list for the Royal Academy of Engineering, and hopefully British engineers will be working hard all year round to find out new ways that can prevent heavy flooding in the future.

It could be a very good advantage for Britain if engineers and flood risk management agencies work together to share ideas and design effective solutions, and that’s certainly seen as the way forward for the future.

Flooding will happen again, there’s no doubt about it, but better engineering can ensure that it doesn’t bring people’s lives to a halt, because it really is unacceptable and engineering can help to provide the solution.
