  • Severn Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment December 2018
    Severn preliminary flood risk assessment December 2018 The Environment Agency in England and Natural Resources Wales have worked together to produce this report. We work together to manage flooding on the River Severn and its tributaries. The cover photo shows how important this is. This is an area in Wales where the River Vyrnwy joins the River Severn. Historically, river embankments (known locally as ‘argaes’) were built to stop farmland from flooding. In large flood events, these overtop from the river at different times and floodwater gets stored on the floodplain. This helps to reduce the impact of river flooding downstream in England in towns like Shrewsbury and Ironbridge. Photo credit: Richard Becker / Alamy Stock Photo About the Environment Agency We are the Environment Agency. We protect and improve the environment. We help people and wildlife adapt to climate change and reduce its impacts, including flooding, drought, sea level rise and coastal erosion. We improve the quality of our water, land and air by tackling pollution. We work with businesses to help them comply with environmental regulations. A healthy and diverse environment enhances people's lives and contributes to economic growth. We can’t do this alone. We work as part of the Defra group (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs), with the rest of government, local councils, businesses, civil society groups and local communities to create a better place for people and wildlife.
