2020 Jake Senior

2020 Jake Senior

The Margetts Bursary 2020 winner Jake Senior impressed judges from CIWEM and RPS with a project which aims to develop a more robust approach for the modelling of natural flood management (NFM) measures, including leaky dams. NFM is gaining in popularity as a part of integrated flood and catchment management and so it is vital that we are able to assess the effectiveness of these techniques. As a result of winning The Margetts Bursary award, Jake will receive financial support for his studies and mentoring by experts from within the RPS.
