Brighton Downland Flood Defence Assessment

BRIGHTON DOWNLAND FLOOD DEFENCE ASSESSMENT HELPING BRIGHTON AND HOVE COUNCIL

The Challenge

The council needed to know which areas of the district were at risk from flooding.

Our Solution

Airborne LIDAR data provides the most accurate means of surveying land height; We generated contours of LIDAR data, which provided the basis for a mathematical analysis that could create and map flood contours and water flow pathways through the Brighton catchment. We used a GIS to produce relevant and informative maps to communicate the key issues to decision-makers.
