Flood Risk and Water Management Plans out for Consultation
Flood Risk Management Plans (FRMPs) set out the objectives for managing flood risks from a range of sources. The 10 draft FRMPs summarise the risk of flooding from rivers, the sea and reservoirs across England and Wales. Local information on flooding, such as surface water runoff, groundwater, sewers and watercourses is also provided for some local authorities.
FRMPs can be found on www.gov.uk and are being consulted on until 31 January 2015.

They identify thecondition of rivers, lakes, groundwater, esturarineand coastal waters and the pressures on them.

RBMPs can be found on www.gov.uk and are being consulted on until 10 April 2015.
