Introduction The Environment Agency is responsible
for managing the flood risk arising from rivers and the sea,
in many areas.
Prompted by growing concern over several areas in Essex
that are susceptible to flooding, the Environment Agency
has commissioned the development of a long-term strategy
to manage the flood defences for four of the Essex Estuaries;
the Roach and Crouch, the Blackwater and Colne
, Hamford Water
and the Stour and Orwell.
These are known as the Essex Estuaries
Flood Management Strategies. more...
