flood mitigation in Battersea due to climate change and what individuals and/or local communities can do when flooding suddenly occurs (or is about to occur).
Focus:
10 years in the future 
(Imagine the possible technologies/solutions in that timeframe.)
Expectations:
propose new products/systems (physical,
possibly combined with digital technology) that might address (but not limited to) how to:
● Protect yourself
● Protect others
● Protect your home and/or valuables
● Protect shops, schools etc.
● Navigate space in a catastrophe
● Deal with transportation (services, public transport, emergency services. etc)
● Deal with health emergencies]]> 2022-10-25 12:30:13 UTC https://padlet.com/yuqing2096/jrxq0e7wj5nu5qd8/wish/2355343807 Special Attention yuqing2096 https://padlet.com/yuqing2096/jrxq0e7wj5nu5qd8/wish/2355346493 * Do not conduct primary research for this assignment that would require ethics approval.]]> 2022-10-25 12:32:02 UTC https://padlet.com/yuqing2096/jrxq0e7wj5nu5qd8/wish/2355346493 Goal yuqing2096 https://padlet.com/yuqing2096/jrxq0e7wj5nu5qd8/wish/2355350924 - present the ‘State of the Art’ review in relation to our flood

2. What are critical issues to address in our research?

3.

- Andy Lord, Managing Director of London Underground, said:
..... It has been a monumental effort during the most challenging of times but the opening of the Northern Line Extension could not have come at a more vital moment as London’s recovery from the pandemic gathers pace and people continue to return to the Tube network for work and leisure.”
( A peak-time service of six trains per hour operates on the extension and this will increase to 12 trains per hour by mid-2022 as more people move into new housing in the area and the demand increases. There are five trains per hour during off-peak times, with this set to double to 10 trains per hour next year.)

THE ANGLE OF THE REGIONAL ECONOMY AND DEVELOPMENT
- Alan Dickie, CEO of London First, said: “We are delighted to see the Northern Line Extension open to better connect Battersea. Bringing more public transport options will attract more jobs and more housing, boosting the economic potential of the area and supporting the capital’s recovery.”
(The two-step-free Zone 1 station has dramatically improved the connectivity of this riverside part of south London and supports the capital’s recovery from the pandemic at a vital time.  )]]> 2022-10-25 14:00:05 UTC https://padlet.com/yuqing2096/jrxq0e7wj5nu5qd8/wish/2355502227 yuqing2096 https://padlet.com/yuqing2096/jrxq0e7wj5nu5qd8/wish/2355525194 2022-10-25 14:12:03 UTC https://padlet.com/yuqing2096/jrxq0e7wj5nu5qd8/wish/2355525194 Eg: yuqing2096 https://padlet.com/yuqing2096/jrxq0e7wj5nu5qd8/wish/2355533875 2022-10-25 14:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/yuqing2096/jrxq0e7wj5nu5qd8/wish/2355533875 London Underground Flooding Precaution yuqing2096 https://padlet.com/yuqing2096/jrxq0e7wj5nu5qd8/wish/2355544193 2022-10-25 14:22:04 UTC https://padlet.com/yuqing2096/jrxq0e7wj5nu5qd8/wish/2355544193 Reflecting a much wider concern yuqing2096 https://padlet.com/yuqing2096/jrxq0e7wj5nu5qd8/wish/2355564204 The heart of the issue doesn’t just affect the tube network in London but reflects a much wider concern about how infrastructure will stand up to increasingly demanding situations as a result of the changing climate. ]]> 2022-10-25 14:33:04 UTC https://padlet.com/yuqing2096/jrxq0e7wj5nu5qd8/wish/2355564204 Emergency response for underground flooding yuqing2096 https://padlet.com/yuqing2096/jrxq0e7wj5nu5qd8/wish/2355587017 Eg:

(2) Building new homes, schools and transport routes --->
more rainwater could reach the drainage systems
(hard surfaces (like roofs and roads) reduce the amount of rainwater that can be absorbed into the soil or by plants)

(3) Climate projections prediction ---> London will experience warmer and wetter winters ---> more frequent and intense rainfall events --- increase the risk of the drainage system being overwhelmed

(4)  To provide car parking or to reduce maintenance ---> garden is disappearing under paving slabs, decking and concrete ---> Paving slabs, decking and concrete reduce the amount of rainwater that can reach the soil ----> more of it will reach the drainage systems.
