Tuesday, August 24th, 2010Flood defenses
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010Today, an exhibition about flood defenses in the UK was officially opened. You can find the RIBA Flood Exhibition – Facing up to rising sea levels – at Portsmouth Cathedral, High Street in Old Portsmouth. It will last two weeks (15 – 27).
See also this PDF file with three flooding scenarios – retreat, defend, attack – for two British towns, namely Hull and Portsmouth, on the web site of the Institute of Civil Engineers.
With lots of thanks for giving me the info to Maricar Jagger, PR Officer for University of Portsmouth!
