Open Methods in Flood Hydrology (BHS Peninnes Webinar)

The BHS Pennines Committee are hosting a webinar titled "Open Methods in Flood Hydrology" which is a joint talk by the Environment Agency and JBA Consulting detailing outcomes of a recent review of open hydrological methods for flood risk management.

Date: Tuesday 30th January at 12:30 - 13:30.

Speakers:

Duncan Faulkner, Head of Hydrology, JBA Consulting (BHS President)
Dr Chris Skinner, Hydrologist - FHIP, Environment Agency (BHS Trustee)

This is the first opportunity for the UK hydrological community to hear about the outcomes of a recently-completed review of open hydrological methods for flood risk management.

The project formed part of the Environment Agency's Flood Hydrology Improvements Programme, a contribution to the agenda set by the UK Flood Hydrology Roadmap.

Join us to:
- Hear how a long walk along the River Eden has provided creative inspiration for an inclusive and inquisitive journey towards more open methods.
- Puzzle over how we reconcile hydrological inquisitiveness and exploration with the need for clarity, simplicity, structure and sustainable funding.
- Be inspired by a vision of a more open future in which methods and datasets are a shared community resource to which anyone can contribute, within a clear governance framework.
