The likely impacts of climate change are:
- Increased rainfall, leading to increased rates of run off and flashy river flows in upper catchment locations.
- Increased river flows leading to greater volumes of water in middle and lower catchment locations.
- Increased sea level leading to higher tide and storm levels, resulting in increased risk of over-topping of banks and defences in lower catchment locations.
- Increased rainfall requiring increased drainage capacity in all locations
