Reports on the 2007 floodsFollowing the extreme flooding in 2007 in England and Wales, the government commissioned an independent report from Sir Michael Pitt. The water industry commissioned its own reports, focused on emergency response and long-term planning. The reports were published in 2008, with progress reports in 2009.
