Climate Change and Flooding Risk on the Core Valleys Network of TfW

Pilot Study on the Design of an Operational Flood Warning System

This is a pilot project for Transport for Wales (TfW) and aims to:

1.  assess the availability, solution and shortcomings of existing system data sets in the Core Valleys Lines (CVL) of the Transport for Wale (TfW) networks, in particularly the catchment of
   • the River Cynon between Aberdare and Abercynon;
   • the Rhondda River between Tonypandy and Porth;  and
   • the Rhymney River between Rhymney and Pontlottyn.
2. design a project management programme for the development of an operational flood warning system.
