:''For the River Agencies of Nigeria see Nigerian Ports Authority and Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency.'' The Rivers Agency is an Executive Agency of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD), in the Northern Ireland Executive. It is the statutory drainage and flood defence authority for Northern Ireland under the terms of the Drainage (Northern Ireland) Order 1973.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = The Drainage (Northern Ireland) Order 1973 )〕 DARD is the competent authority〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = The Water Environment (Floods Directive) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 )〕 for the implementation of the EU Floods directive and has delegated the day to day delivery of the directive to Rivers Agency. The Agency Headquarters is located at Hydebank in Belfast and it has Regional headquarters in Lisburn and Omagh and offices in Coleraine, Craigavon and Ballinamallard.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = Rivers Agency Business Plan 2011-12 )〕 The Strategic Flood Map (NI) 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = Strategic Flood Map (NI) )〕 - Rivers & Sea was developed by Rivers Agency in co-operation with the Department of the Environment (DOE). The primary aim of the Strategic Flood Map is to provide an illustration of the areas throughout Northern Ireland that are considered to be at risk of flooding from rivers and the sea. In December 2011 a new version of the map was released that refreshed the information on rivers and the sea, updated the historical information to include the latest flood events and for the first time it included a surface water flood layer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = On-Line Flood Map is updated )〕 The Map is designed to: * Help us and others to plan and manage our work to reduce flood risk. *To encourage people living and working in areas prone to flooding to find out more and take appropriate action. *Inform anyone who wants to apply for planning permission if flooding is likely to be an important consideration.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.dardni.gov.uk/riversagency/index/strategic-flood-maps.htm )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rivers Agency」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
