Some good general interest sites

Some good new websites have come to our attention in the last few days:

• BBC Scotland has a good 'Bitesize' site with information and case studies on flooding, migration and hazards.


• Another BBC Scotland site has information on coastal pressures which is good for the AS course.


• SEPA has a good animation which shows areas of Scotland at risk from flooding. Type in your postcode to see if you are likely to get wet!
• A fantastic simulator which allows you to control the flood policies of the UK
