Notes:
As a consequence of severe flooding in May 1979 and resultant public pressure, Wessex Water prepared an outline flood alleviation scheme for the river Brit at Bridport, Dorset. Restrictions in capital investment necessitated the works being undertaken in six stages.The river system through the urban area was mathematically modelled using Hydraulic Research's FLUCOMP 1, which demonstrated that flood alleviation works could be carried out in the very restricted valley bottom. In order to confirm design assumptions a physical model of the most restricted area was commissioned from Hydraulics Research Ltd (HR).The paper demonstrates the benefit of close liaison between designers and modellers to ensure that the most cost-effective and technically feasible scheme is provided.
