Talk: Floodplains, Lakes, Ponds & Rivers of MK
Find out more about the fascinating flood defence systems that can be found in Milton Keynes at this insightful talk.
Have you ever wondered why Milton Keynes experiences very little residential flooding compared to other parts of the UK, despite the prevalence of waterways across the city? With more than 300 ponds, 20 large lakes, two rivers and a canal, there is plenty of water to be found within the city boundaries!
At this insightful talk, you will find out about the intricate system of balancing lakes and urban drainage systems that help protect MK. There will also be an opportunity to discover some of the problems that these bodies of water can bring and how The Parks Trust surveys them.
The talk will take place at Campbell Park Pavilion.
Due to the time of year, please expect that it will be dark when exiting the building - there is limited lighting outside the pavilion.
