Building and maintaining river and coastal flood defences in England [electronic resource]
- London NAO 2007
Reports on the current state of flood defences. Identifies work to be done and the investment needed. Since 2001, flood protection has been improved for over 100 000 households. A more rigorous system for analysing flood defences has been developed. 61% of flood defence structures are in good or better condition than in 2001. However only 57% of all flood defence systems had met their target by March 2007. NAO estimates it will need another £150m to reach all targets. Recommends focusing on medium or high risk areas.
