| Abstract: | The assessment of flood damage costs on farm land is a necessary part of the evaluation of land drainage improvement schemes and maintenance programmes. This paper describes a method to calculate the average annual cost of flooding and the extra benefits or costs associated with given changes in flooding regime. Particular reference is made to the effect of land use, flood frequency and seasonality on flood costs. The method is illustrated by means of a simplified case study which examines the agricultural benefits of reduced summer flooding in an area of environmental importance. |
