Project Objectives

A summary of the key aims for this study can be found below. The main objectives of the Ballater Flood Protection Study are to develop better understanding of flood risk; assess the extent of the existing flood risk and; develop, appraise and recommend options to manage flood risk. The options may include a range of structural and non-structural options, for example flood protection schemes, natural flood management (NFM), awareness raising and property level protection (PLP). 

  1. Develop better understanding of flood risk
    • Create, update or develop new/existing flood model information
    • Determine existing flood risk
    • Develop flood mapping, depths and velocity from model outputs
  2. Develop recommendations for management of flood risk, including structural and non-structural options
    • Appraise actions to manage flood risk (develop Benefit-Cost Ratios for any proposed schemes)
    • Recommend options for the future management of flood risk
  3. Prepare a preferred Flood Protection Scheme (most suitable option to take forward)
  4. Engage partners, general public and stakeholders

What is the purpose of this website?

This website was originally set up to host the information collated as part of the Ballater Flood Protection Study and to provide you with information on scheme developments, to inform you of progress, and to allow you the opportunity to comment on our efforts through the Contact Us page.
The results of the Ballater Additional Flood Study have now been added to the website. RPS were commissioned to undertake the Additional Flood Study to identify any changes to flood risk resulting from significant morphological changes to the River Dee, and to assess the potential for minor works to manage any increased flood risk to Ballater.
