Hazards
Inland flooding
The project investigated the risk of groundwater-induced sewer flooding within the Chalk catchment of the River Lambourn. Infiltration from extreme high groundwater levels experienced during recent winters resulted in the Thames Water Utilities Ltd’s sewerage network being overloaded in this catchment. The output was an integrated groundwater-sewer network model that was used to identify relationships between infiltration into sewers and groundwater levels.
