Resumo de Recurso
Uckfield Flooding
Physical Factors
Prolonged heavy rainfall, the Uck burst its banks
180mm of rain in 72 hours
The river banks burst as they couldn't handle the volume and velocity of water
Clay soils in the area
High drainage density on the River Uck
Abnormally high rainfall for the UK in October 2000
Three deep depressions passed over the UK from 6th October 2000, these caused heavy rain
Human Factors
The shape of the river channel has been modified
A mill had been built 400 years ago, this created an extra channel
Fish channel at the side does not allow a high volume flow.
The high street bridge limits the flow of water due to its arches
There has been commercial development along the flood plain
Landscaping on river banks
