Natural flood management applications (NFM): the role of local institutions
Natural Flood Management (NFM) is promoted as part of sustainable flood management (SFM) in response to climate change adaptation. Stakeholder engagement is central to this approach, and current trends are progressively moving towards a collaborative learning approach where stakeholder …

Natural flood management - an Ecosystem based Adaptation response for climate change
… and precipitation which will result in increased flood risk and corresponding social, economic and environmental impacts. Complementing more traditional structurally-based engineering interventions, an important additional <br/>adaptation strategy is through natural flood management (NFM). NFM …

The effects of upstream Natural Flood Management on urban surface drainage performance
The evaluation of rural Natural Flood Management (NFM) has traditionally focused on the ability of interventions to mitigate downstream fluvial flooding by attenuating catchment response. This research expands this focus – investigating whether these same interventions could also mitigate surface …

An Exploration into the Views and Perspectives of Welsh Local Authority Practitioners Towards Natural Flood Management (NFM)
Natural flood management (NFM), the catchment-based, natural approach to flood risk management, has gained momentum in academic and governmental circles in recent years as a sustainable, multi-functional approach that can reduce flood risk but also contribute to wider goals in today’s society. …

Optimising oak woodland establishment into UK upland pastures in the context of climate change; and the role of oak woodland in soil hydrological recovery for natural flood management
… leave downstream communities at elevated flood risk. The study examines changes in upland precipitation and the impact of upland ‘Atlantic’ oak (Quercus robur, Quercus petraea) woodland establishment on the recovery of soils for natural flood management (NFM). The soil moisture, livestock …

Hydromorphological evolution of a restored river; a case study in the Upper River Eden catchment
… controlling unwanted erosion to river naturalisation and the “re-meandering” of channels back to an historic planform. This is driven by acknowledgement of rivers as dynamic systems that, through restoring erosional and depositional processes and floodplain connection, can restore …

Does the concept of “resilience” offer new insights for effective policy-making? An analysis of its feasibility and practicability for flood risk management in the UK
… these three aspects within the context of flood risk management in the UK, which is uniquely suited to studying the practicability of a cross-disciplinary concept like resilience, because it connects issues of natural resource management, social planning, and disaster management. First, I …

Growing with the flow: Investigating nature-based approaches to mitigate flooding in the Pacific Islands
… causing both climate and biodiversity crises. Flooding is now the most common naturally-triggered disaster worldwide and is predicted to worsen in many regions. Recently, nature-based solutions (NbS) have gained increased attention as an approach to address these challenges. NbS can reduce …
