MWH Soft’s InfoWorks RS 2D solution has been found to perform extremely well in an Environment Agency trial project to model and map the impacts of complex cumulative reservoir dam breaches.In England and Wales, the Environment Agency is the Competent Authority responsible for ensuring the safety of the 2092 reservoirs that currently fall under the Reservoirs Act 1975. In addition to this legislation, the Water Act 2003 requires that all reservoir undertakers produce reservoir flood plans for all of their statutory reservoirs. Although this has been a statutory requirement since that date, the floods of 2007 led the Environment Agency to commit to producing Indicative Flood Maps for all of its statutory reservoirs by December 2009.
