… we too much take it for granted, it should be celebrated. Without the DS the salt sea would be part of freshwater rivers. Without this kind of civil engineering, much of east anglia would be.. awash.

Let’s celebrate the work of those civil engineers and architects who have been before us and let’s celebrate by using the technology of our time. So a Big Up from me goes to artists like Lulu Quinn and Co. I salute you.

And please look at the big picture:

You know 4 million people and £250 billion assets are at risk with flooding

Environment Agency has allocated £12 million flood defences over last 5 years in Norfolk alone

DEFRA is to allocate £436 million for flood risk management in 2007/2008

Civil engineering quietly working for the coming decades, unsung, taken for granted.
