Poster 1. Assessing ° ood risk for canals Robert Arrowsmith British Waterways, Brindley Suite, Willow Grange, Church Road, Watford, Hertfordshire WD17 4QA, UK British Waterways manages 3000 km of canal and river navigations. A methodology for estimating ®ood risk in canals has been developed over the last three years. Flood risk is assessed in two stages.

If the ®ood risk is above a threshold value a more detailed assessment is undertaken using the Flood estimation handbook, following a detailed on-site assessment of the catchment and canal.
