Correction/addition to HR Wallingford article in IRF86

In Issue 86 of IRF, the HR Wallingford article on the international good practice handbook on flood defence embankments unfortunately left out some of the supporters of the work and included a few that were not.

The correct full list of supporters of the UK-Ireland input being managed by CIRIA is as follows, with those missing from IRF86 highlighted in bold text: the Environment Agency, the Office of Public Works Ireland, the Scottish Government, the Building Research Establishment, HR Wallingford, BAM Nuttall, Black & Veatch, the Institution of Civil Engineers, Opus, Royal Haskoning, Halcrow, Mott Macdonald and Atkins.

HR Wallingford is leading and coordinating the technical input from the UK and Ireland. Details of all of the partners and funding organisations, including those from France, Germany, The Netherlands and the USA as well as the UK, can be found on the project website at www.leveehandbook.net.
