UK must adapt to changing weather says Environment Agency

Britain must prepare better for more droughts and more floods in the future, says the Chairman of the Environment Agency. Some rivers like the Ouse and Tyne sank to historic lows and highs within a 4 month period. He said that the UK would have to look into increasing the amount of small reservoirs as well as improving th etransfer of water between dry and wet areas. He also said that more homes will have to be protected from flooding.

    Hi Daniel,

    Thank you so much for all the useful materials and information that you provide on your wikispaces website and here - my students and I greatly appreciate it!

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news but when I visited the migration page of your wikispaces website an error message came up and said that it had been infected by Malware! So now unfortunately that page is inaccessible :-(

    I hope that this problem is easily solved and doesn't spread to the rest of the site.

    We would really miss your website - it is so comprehensive and interesting!

    Sorry to have to tell you this news!

    Thanks again,

    Alex
