Om denne e-boken

Thames Flood Control explores London's enduring battle with the Thames River, focusing on flood prevention and water quality management through the lens of history and environmental science. The book highlights how London's very existence is intertwined with the Thames, making its control vital. Readers will discover how efforts to tame the river evolved from basic embankments to the sophisticated Thames Barrier, a testament to centuries of adaptation. Understanding the river's past offers crucial insights for present-day challenges.

The book takes a comprehensive approach, starting with the Thames's historical transformation, then diving into the science of water quality, including its impact on waterborne diseases and public health. It investigates contemporary strategies like sustainable drainage systems, blending engineering with ecological considerations. The narrative uses historical records, scientific studies, and expert interviews to support its analysis.

Ultimately, Thames Flood Control argues for an integrated approach to urban resilience, advocating for solutions that consider both the Thames's historical context and its ecological dynamics. The book provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in environmental history, urban planning, and the future of our cities in the face of climate change.
