520			_aLooks at the Environment Agency's efforts to continue improving the flood warning systems introduced after the 1998 Northamptonshire floods. The article concentrates on the IT system, Hyrad, which is able to provide real time weather patterns and forecasts with historical weather data for a region for use in flood forecast models. Hyrad was developed by the ecology and hydrology research centre CEH Wallingford. However the Agency hopes to take this forward to a new level that will cover a wider geographic flood risk area and be able to pinpoint precise locations of flooding.
