As the consultation period of Defra’s Draft Flood and Water Management Bill comes to an end, the future of flood and coastal erosion management in England and Wales is a step closer to being set.

The Bill will bring about significant and far-reaching changes in ownership, planning, funding and support mechanisms for at-risk areas.

When the Bill is passed, you could find yourself with new responsibilities, new clients, new suppliers and the need to develop new ways of working.

NCE’s Flood Management 2009 will be your ideal opportunity to delve into the inner workings of the Bill and prepare to meet the Government’s requirements for future flood management.

NCE Flood Management 2009 will cover: surface water masterplans, new reservoir inspections, changes to planning legislation, drainage and coastal change policy, plus much, much more.  Revisit this website soon for the full programme.

Whatever your role in managing floods and coastal erosion, you will benefit from attending NCE’s 5th annual Flood Management conference.

  • Consulting engineers

  • Environment Agency Employees

  • Utilities companies
