Chronology: SW - Angarrack

[1] Place Angarrack: A three foot torrent of water swept through the village after a storm drain cover was blown off. Three homes and a garden were flooded. ‘Parts of the village have flooded 6 times in the last 25 years but this is definitely the worst’.
[2] Pengersick Castle was flooded to a depth of 2 feet and ancient manuscripts were damaged.
[3] Place Crowlas: In the early hours of New Year’s Day the town was flooded for the eighth time in seven weeks. The excessive frequency of flooding was ascribed to changes in farming practices and the removal of hedgerows.

Affected locations include Fexbury/Bude, Redruth, Lanner and the Portreath Valley, Carnkie, Carn Brea, Illogan and Camborne, Angarrack and Hayle, Relubbus and St Erth, Sennen Cove, Lamorna and Mousehole, Marazion, Praa Sands, Breage and Porthleven, Helston, Gweek, Constantine, Porkellis, Burras and Wendron on the Cober, Budock Water and Falmouth, Tresillian, Goran Haven, St

FEPSys is being developed as part of the SINATRA project, which is funded under NERCs Flooding From Intense Rainfall (FFIR) programme which aims to reduce the risks of damage and loss of life caused by surface water and flash floods.

The aim of FEPSys is to create something that is generally helpful and transparent; a legacy from SINATRA developed in the spirit of bringing together knowledge and data about FFIR and knowledge and outcomes from project SINATRA.
