Thames Estuary 2100 Flood Storage areas

Alternative title(s)

Abstract

Thames Estuary flood storage areas are potential areas of riverside with the primary purpose to receive and store tidal flood flows during large storm surge events. They aim to help reduce extreme flood levels and prevent flooding further upstream. There are four potential flood storage areas which were first identified in the TE2100 Plan (2012).
