JBA authors contributed to this work led by Newcastle University. The research details Important findings about rainfall profiles used for design of drainage infrastructure, flood defences and dams.

This paper explores the influence of how climate change pathway assumptions effect the economic appraisal and prioritisation of flood projects. We focus on flood hydrology assumptions and use anonymised case studies to demonstrate the possible effects. The paper shows how hydrology has a strong influence on economic appraisal with climate change.

A report on cross-programme research to bring together findings using common metrics by teams at Lancaster University, University of Manchester, University of Reading and JBA Consulting working on the effectiveness of Natural Flood Management (i.e., Nature-based Solutions for reducing flood peaks) within the United Kingdom.

This briefing provides a short introduction to a supplement of the Ciria Manual on 'Scour at Bridges and Other Hydraulic Structures' published in 2021. The supplement captures additional knowledge since the scour manual was published in 2015.

This paper presents findings from early experience of using the CIRIA Culvert, screen and outfall manual on an Environment Agency programme to assess the continuing need for 92 screens in England.

This research provides an understanding of the response of gravel barrier beaches to unimodal and bimodal storms through morphodynamic modelling.
