The Environment Agency has been exploring the possibility for a Thames Valley Flood Scheme. This project is now coming to a close with the following conclusion:
'Thames Valley Flood Scheme reviewed options to reduce flood risk across the Thames catchment. We found that large scale flood storage in upper areas of the catchment, does have potential to help reduce flood risk downstream. But the cost of building these is too large compared to the benefits and we would not gain funding and approvals. This means that we are not able to proceed with the Thames Valley Flood Scheme at this time.'
