The ISIS-TUFLOW 1D-2D linked models have been used for projects at Welshpool (PCC) where modelling was used to develop a project appraisal study for Powy County Council and to address issues with the allocation of sites for the UDP. ISIS-TUFLOW was also used for the Thames at Farmoor, The Eden and Irthing at Temple Sowerby and Greenholm to evaluate the impact on outflanking of the gauge stage discharge relationship at high flows. TUFLOW has also been used independently in a number of coastal situations to assess the impact of breach of a shingle barrier at Hythe in Kent and for the breach of an embankment at Barrow in Furness for the Strategic Flood Risk Assessment.
