Groups
Working with Natural Processes reducing flood risk Lydia Burgess-Gamble – Principal Scientist – Environment Agency Steve Rose – Technical Director – JBA Email: [email protected]
Develop a high quality Working with Natural Processes evidence base to help flood and coastal erosion risk management authorities understand, justify, develop and implement schemes which WWNP to reduce flood risk.
What are we not covering • SUDS • Urban WWNP • Greening of hard defences • Green engineering measures
WP1. Evidence Directory
WP2. Opportunity Maps
WP3. Catchment & Coastal Labs
Key challenges Draw together robust and trusted evidence base/ key metrics which can be used to support investment decisions, making the case for WWNP Being honest about what we know and don’t know
Exercises 1. Defining WWNP/NFM (20min) 2. Examples – old, new and literature
(30min) 3. R&D gaps and funding mechanisms
(30min)
Exercise 1. 15 Mins
Rural
Hill slopes Floodplains Rivers Estuaries Coasts
Urban
Preserving and protecting rivers , floodplains and
coasts
WWNP/NFM
Green engineering
Grey engineering
A spectrum
Runoff management
Woodland
Floodplain and in-channel
Managing fine sediment at source
Group name:
3. Woodlands in wider catchment & as flow interception
1. Land /soil management
4. River & floodplain reconnection
2. Traditional flood storage reservoirs
5. River & floodplain woodlands 4. Grip blocking
7. Wetland restoration/creation 6. Flow interception and leaky dams
12. Ponds & runoff attenuation 11. Woody material
9. River restoration 10. In-channel measures to force water on to floodplain for temporary storage / attenuation
Quick discussion in groups Any missing WWNP/NFM measures? Any measures that could be in several groups?
Exercise 2. 30 Mins
Runoff management
Woodland River floodplain
Case studies (name, location, lead contact)
Key literature (academic and grey lit)
New projects (name, location, lead contact)
Exercise 3. What stops WWNP/NFM from being more mainstream 30 Mins
What are our scientific knowledge gaps? What funding mechanisms do you use?
Quick discussion in groups Rank your R&D gaps in terms of how urgent they are to address
