What do we propose to reduce flood risk at Kemnay?
As part of the Kemnay Flood Study, a wide range of potential ways to reduce flood risk were first identified. These initial ideas included a mix of natural and engineered approaches. The options were then screened to remove those that were clearly unsuitable for the area.
The remaining options were short-listed and assessed in more detail using a range of criteria, including how well they reduce flood risk, their environmental impact, and their cost. This process, called multi-criteria assessment, helps identify the most effective and balanced solutions.
Finally, the economic benefits of each option were compared to their estimated costs to understand their value for money, using a measure called the Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR). This ensures that any future flood protection scheme delivers the greatest benefit to the community.
