This project has recommended community-based flood warning areas and examined the technical feasibility of providing flood warnings based on precipitation events on the small Gloucester watercourses.

These watercourses present significant challenges for forecasting and warning due to the short lead time available for warning as they respond very quickly to rainfall. A total of nine forecasting technique options were examined and evaluated, highlighting pros and cons of each.
The client was very pleased with this study and indicated it would become “the benchmark against which we will measure any other studies ”
