What UK Flood and Water Management Act 2010 requires
The UK Flood and Water Management Act 2010 implements key recommendations from the Pitt Review (2008) following the 2007 floods. The Act provides a strategic framework for flood and coastal erosion risk management in England and Wales; designates Lead Local Flood Authorities (LLFAs) for surface water and groundwater flooding; creates Internal Drainage Boards (IDBs); Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) framework; reservoir safety modernisation; and water industry powers including water company supplier of last resort regimes. The Environment Agency has overall strategic responsibility; LLFAs lead local strategies; Risk Management Authorities work in coordination. Major flooding events including 2007 2014 2015-16 and 2024 have shaped implementation.
