With over 15 years’ experience and a technical background in flood hydrology, Christian has undertaken, supervised and independently reviewed hydrological analyses across the UK for the Environment Agency, Rivers Agency and many local authorities.
He has managed a variety of projects from surface water management plans and water cycle studies, to catchment flood management plans, including hydrological analysis that informed large-scale dam and channel design to protect Jeddah and Jazan Economic City in Saudi Arabia from severe flood events.
In 2016, Christian helped deliver the York Flood Management Plan which is using a total catchment management approach to identify short, medium and long term solutions to reduce flood risk in the City of York, UK.
Christian will be speaking on Day 2, Wednesday 29 March, between 11:00 – 12:30 in Conference Room 4
York Flood Management Plan
The York Flood Management Plan identifies short, medium and long-term holistic solutions for the management of flooding in York, UK informing the Environment Agency’s Short Term (five year) and Long Term (100 year) plans. The project looks beyond traditional engineered solutions towards a wide-ranging whole catchment strategy to protect the city from future extreme weather events linked to climate change.
