Reservoir Flood Modelling, United Kingdom Background Client: Environment Agency In 2010, the Environment Agency produced Reservoir Flood Maps (RFM) for large raised reservoirs at a national scale across England and Wales. Those maps are used to inform a range of applications including emergency planning, reservoir risk designation, spatial planning and community awareness. BMT with partners JBA and Mott McDonald are delivering a major update of these maps using latest advances and innovations in software and hardware to reflect technical advances in dam break analysis, hydrology, computational hydraulic flood modelling and digital terrain models. Outcomes and Benefits The primary users of the Reservoir Flood Maps are Local Resilience Forums (LRFs). LRFs use these maps for emergency planni
