This makes the River Thames very dangerous for the populated city of London. 2) After a tragic flooding in 1953 that killed 300 people, engineers began developing the Thames Barrier. It has been raised 31 times since its creation in 1982 to stop considerable amounts of water from flooding the city. 3) Soon it may become necessary to raise the Thames Barrier up to 30 times every year due to increasing rainfall from climate change.
