In response to the increasing risk of flooding, various flood control projects and measures are being implemented in different parts of the UK. In Manhattan, a new waterside park is being constructed to serve as a berm, aimed at preventing floodwaters from reaching the city streets. Meanwhile, in Wales, nearly 300,000 properties are at risk of flooding, with the number expected to rise to 390,000 over the next century. Natural Resources Wales has emphasized the need to triple flood defense spending to protect homes, while also warning that maintaining flood defenses in some areas could become unaffordable. In Newcastle, a project to bolster the city's defenses against catastrophic flooding has gained support from city leaders, although concerns have been raised about the funding for these defenses.
