Title

Thames Estuary 2100 Extreme Water Level nodes

Alternative title(s)

Abstract

Extreme Water Level nodes show the point locations of modelled data projections for extreme water levels (heights) that could occur in the estuary in the future. Extreme water levels take into account climate change and predicted sea level rise. It is used in the design of our flood defences to achieve the required standard of defence (crest levels and heights).

Lineage

The original Thames Estuary 2100 Plan’s model nodes were spaced along the centreline of the estuary with the spacing depending on the level of detail required at each location. Generally speaking the nodes are closer together through central London. Additional nodes were added where tributaries join the estuary to help model how the flows from the tributary affect water levels in the estuary. The 10-Year Review added additional nodes (reducing the spacing) to improve our understanding of how the water levels change along the estuary.
