With an increasing frequency and intensity in precipitation expected as a result of climate change, we can expect flooding, in particular surface water flooding, to occur more frequently. Wandsworth has experienced a number of surface water flood events, the most notable of which was on the 20th July 2007 where intense periods of rainfall caused flash floods and the capacity of the existing drainage system to be exceeded in several locations across the Borough. This caused overland flow and ponding in low-lying areas and impacted residents, businesses and the transport network across the Borough. Tooting Bec and Tooting Broadway railway stations had to be closed due to flooding. Schools, public buildings, residential properties, the transport network and council vehicles all suffered damage. The total cost of repairs to the council amounted to over £400,000.A similar event was seen in July 2009, when Southside Shopping Centre in Wandsworth and South Thames College were evacuated, with significant disruptions to transport and other damage caused, as a result of torrential downpours. We can also expect to see more flooding from ground water and sewage. Our Strategic Flooding Risk Assessment lays out the impact of flooding in the borough, both in the past and expected in further detail: https://www.wandsworth.gov.uk/planning-and-building-control/planning-policy/flood-risk/flood-risk-management-plans/strategic-flood-risk-assessment/

At this point along its course, the water levels in the River Thames are tidally influenced. Flood Zone mapping identifies that a large area covering Battersea and Clapham Junction and smaller areas to the north of Wandsworth and Putney are in Flood Zone 3 associated with the River Thames, which is defined as land that would be expected to flood during a flood event with a 0.5% AEP, when excluding the presence of defences. However, these areas do benefit from The Thames Tidal Defence (TTD) system including both the raised flood defence walls along the River Thames frontage, as well as the Thames Barrier located downstream at Woolwich. The risk of tidal flooding to these northern parts of Wandsworth is therefore a residual risk at present, in the event of a breach or overtopping of the local flood defences. This risk will increase in the future as a result of climate change and is modelled in greater detail in our flood risk assessment, which is being updated in 2021.Modelling within this assessment also identifies that climate change is likely to result in a significant increase in the flood extent associated with the River Wandle through Southfields and King George’s Park and a slight increase in the flood extent associated with the River Graveney in Tooting Graveney.

This is also linked to severe weather events, high temperatures can alter pathogen survival, replication and virulence, heavy rainfall events can mobilise pathogens and compromise water and sanitation infrastructure, and drought can concentrate pathogens in limited water supplies.

Most mosquito species native to the UK do not transmit diseases (some Culex mosquitoes can transmit West Nile Virus. However, invasive mosquitoes such as Aedes albopictus, are capable of transmitting dengue and chikungunya diseases and Adese albopictus was recorded in southern England in 2016, 2017 and 2018, despite originating in southeast Asia. Recently, there have been changes in vector distribution across the UK. This includes identification of invasive species, such as Aedes albopictus, in Southern England as well as changing patterns of tick distributions. The causes of these changes are complex; however, climate change is thought to be a main contributory factor. Climate change causing higher temperatures, speed up mosquito development allowing for potentially earlier infection.Whilst temperature has less of an effect on ticks than it does on mosquitoes, ticks are affected by other climate variables such as moisture levels. Ticks are a key vector for the Borrelia bacteria that causes Lyme disease and can act as a vector for act as a vector for tick-borne encephalitis (TBE). TBE, however, is not present in the UK although it has been recorded in several European countries including Switzerland and the Netherlands.Ticks that may carry Lyme disease are common, found especially in woodlands and parks with deer, such as Richmond Park which is on the border with Wandsworth and will be visited by many Wandsworth residents. This is therefore already having a slight impact on Wandsworth residents, but may increase as a result of climate change. The identification of invasive mosquito species in Southern England can be expected to affect Wandsworth as a borough in this region.

A crise hídrica vem se agravando a cada ano em virtude do uso não controlado dos recursos naturais. Tanto pela concessionária responsável pela captação e abastecimento hídrico, quanto pelos pequenos produtores que também captam água da mesma bacia. A compactação do solo, o aumento expressivo do escoamento superficial das águas pluviais, a ocupação de planícies fluviais, além dos fenômenos climáticos, como o período de chuva reduzida, em conjunto do uso indiscriminado principalmente pela agricultura, impactarão em verdadeiras crises hídricas em tempo de estiagem. Futuramente, curto, médio e em longo prazo, a concessionária apresentou ao Município ação de mitigação e adaptação em relação à captação e distribuição da água e esgoto.O ano 2019 foi o ano com menor quantidade de chuvas já registrado na cidade de Goiás. O município de Goiás,possui registros pluviométricos desde o ano de 1961. Nestes 58 anos de coleta de dados, o ano de 2019 apresentou a menor pluviometria (quantidade de chuvas), anual já registrados . Foram apenas 933,2 milímetros de precipitação totalizada no ano. Até então, o pior desempenho havia ocorrido em 2015 e 2002, com 1172,5 mm e 1209,8 mm respectivamente. O mês de novembro foi o menos chuvoso dos últimos 58 anos. 2020, no entanto parece tentar reverter esta situação, pois, em sua primeira semana, a precipitação acumulada foi de 144,6 mm. 2019 confirmou a tendência de baixa pluviometria anotadas nestas duas primeiras décadas do século XXI em nossa cidade.

A possibilidade de novas enchentes faz com que a comunidade ribeirinha ao Rio Vermelho, fiquem sempre atentos em épocas de chuvas, considerando os significativos danos causados ao município ao longo de sua existência, pela repetição de eventos de mesma natureza. Os estragos das inundações são vinculados não só pela fragilidade da área atingida, em função do tipo de ocupação e uso do solo, da área da bacia e da infra-estrutura de saneamento básico, como também, dos danos ambientais no curso do Rio Vermelho, desde sua nascente, a montante da cidade, até a ocupação de sua planície de inundação.O acervo arquitetônico é reconhecido mundialmente, tanto que em 2001, a Organização das Nações Unidades, através da UNESCO, tornou-se a Cidade de Goiás patrimônio da humanidade, deixando de ser simplesmente uma cidade histórica brasileira.
