5. Weather Radar – Rainfall impact on
Sewer Networks

6. Operational dashboard–monitor & analyse

7. A Changing World
“Flash-flooding can be caused by prolonged torrential rain. The weathermen can
predict rainfall and we can now use this information to better manage our sewer
networks to help protect against flooding.”
Great Yarmouth 2013
