Flood management case study — Boscastle. Cornwall In August 2004. the village of Boscastle saw a month’s worth of rain fall in two hours. The drainage basin of Boscastle is steep and impermeable. . .

Soft engineering does not involve building artificial structures. but takes a more sustainable and natural approach to managing the potential for river flooding. Each approach has its advantages. . .

Pevensey Bay: a case study of soft engineering Longshore drift was limited by 150 obsolete groynes. These were removed and not replaced. to save project costs and turn the scheme into purely soft engineering. In the past. shingle for beach nourishment was brought to the beaches by lorry. along narrow roads through residential areas.
