This summary report is based on detailed Chinese and English language technical reports produced in China by the joint UK-Chinese team of experts, and its purpose is to provide an accessible English language scientific summary of the Taihu project.

The project has its origins in the Foresight Future Flooding project (Evans et al 2004), commissioned by the Chief Scientific Advisor to the British government. The aim of the project was to use the best available science to provide a challenging vision for flood and coastal defence in the UK between 2030 and 2100 and so inform long-term flood risk management policy.
