British Chronology of Flash Floods
This page hosts a database listing flash flood events in the UK derived from historical reports dating back over more than 200 years.
Data and tools
Leaky barrier retention times for Natural Flood Management interventions
This tool provides a quick and accessible analysis that can support modelling of leaky barriers across different levels of detail, from simple site assessment through to intermediate or detailed models
Analysis of local authority areas where planting trees could help reduce flood risk
Analysis of local authority areas where different types of tree planting (floodplain, riparian, wider catchment) could help reduce flood risk
Modelling eel movement to improve fish pass design
A summary of the PhD research carried out by Tom Padgett into how weirs, fish passes and hydro-electric plants can best be configured to avoid disruption to eel and fish migration.
What data, evidence and modelling is needed to develop a catchment strategy?
This report aims to help identify the data and modelling needs, and the robustness of evidence, for developing Natural Flood Management strategies in the Skell catchment to reduce flood and sediment risks.
Online catalogue of nature-based flood risk management projects in the UK
This page has been superseded by a new page about our interactive mapping of nature-based flood risk management projects across the UK. You can find the new page here: https://www.jbatrust.org/how-we-help/interactive-mapping/
Brand new flow meter donated by Canal & River Trust
JBA Trust are delighted to have received a new Flowmeter Wading Set, donated by the Canal & Rivers Trust.
Emergence of an ephemeral chalk stream in 2014 at Assendon, Oxfordshire
JBA Trust monitored and documented the rare emergence and flow of the Assendon Stream in 2014 to provide a resource for researchers and practitioners interested in understanding more about this type of groundwater flooding event.
Flood and scour related failure incidents at railway assets
We have published a consolidated chronology of railway asset failures relating to flooding for the period 1846 to 2013. The most common failure mechanism was found to be the undermining of abutments or piers by scour, resulting in their collapse.
Assessing the multiple benefits of SuDS
We supported the development of a new tool to identify and assess the potential multiple benefits of SuDS schemes.
