“You can build bigger walls but that is only part of the story and is unlikely to solve the problem on its own,” said Professor Beevers. Professor Marc Stutter, senior environmental and biochemical scientist, pointed out that traditionally flood prevention projects involved “hard engineering” such as walls and embankments.“‘Soft engineering’ helps to create a more biodiverse landscape and can supplement those hard engineering options so we don’t have to keep building higher walls.
Edinburgh University climatologist Professor Simon Tett said the effect of climate change is making the breaching of flood defences more likely.
