Abstract
This paper reviews the current practice of coastal flood forecasting and warning in England and Wales. The basis of the coastal flood forecasting and warning and recent advances in relevant numerical modelling technology are reviewed and explained. The paper discusses the benefits and opportunities these new technologies can bring and the practical problems, dilemmas and challenges that the service providers and consultants face at present and in the future
