Hi.

Welcome to Rob Hakimian’s website, collecting together the best of his writing from over the years.

Future of Flooding | How partnerships can deliver more flood protection

Future of Flooding | How partnerships can deliver more flood protection

“Adapt or die”; “there’s no time for complacency about flooding”; “its impacts are in your village, your shop, your home”.

The messaging from the Environment Agency has been strong and staunch as we head into what is forecast to be another wet winter. Even those who live far from coasts and floodplains are being warned: the knock-on effects of flood events mean that nobody is unaffected.

My first official print feature for New Civil Engineer is about the future of flooding and how defences get funded. Spoke to lots of interesting people for this one!

Head to New Civil Engineer if you’re interested.
