Trends in post-1950 riparian vegetation recovery in coastal catchments of NSW Australia: Implications for remote sensing analysis, forecasting and river management

Nuosha Zhang et al.

Summary: Extensive riparian vegetation clearance took place in southeastern Australia in the 19th and 20th centuries. Since the 1980s, there has been a recovery of riparian vegetation in all coastal catchments of New South Wales. However, the specific patterns and rates of recovery are still unknown.

A systematic review of natural flood management modelling: Approaches, limitations, and potential solutions

Bartholomew Hill et al.

Summary: The 2008 Pitt Review of the 2007 summer floods in the UK praised the potential of natural flood management (NFM) for reducing flood risk. Since then, NFM has gained significant interest from practitioners and academics. The review emphasized the need for catchment-based flood management (CBFM) to incorporate NFM and nature-based solutions into traditional flood protection systems. The European Green Deal also highlighted the importance of using nature-based solutions for managing flood risk.

Evolution of a river management industry in Australia reveals meandering pathway to 2030 UN goals

Kathryn Russell et al.

Summary: Collaboration, diversity, and interdisciplinarity have increased in the Australian river management industry, but community participation and adaptive management have not seen significant growth. A structured review and topic modelling of content from national stream management conferences from 1996-2021 were conducted to assess these trends. The industry has shown maturity over the past 25 years, but there is room for improvement in achieving UN 2030 goals for integrated water resource management and ecosystem restoration.

Community action on natural flood management and the governance of a catchment-based approach in the UK

Alice Garvey et al.

Summary: The study evaluates NFM governance in the UK and the role of communities within it. Findings show that the participation of community flood groups improves community access to strategic conversations on flood risk management, enables the deployment of NFM measures, and helps generate an evidence base on NFM.

Geomorphic and vegetative river recovery in a small coastal catchment of New South Wales, Australia: Implications for flow hydrology and river management

Rebecca Mabbott et al.

Summary: This study explores the changes in river systems and riparian vegetation cover after colonization. It shows that river recovery is occurring, as demonstrated by improved geomorphic and vegetative condition, but further recovery is required to affect major flow hydrology. The study highlights the potential of increased vegetation cover to influence flow hydrology and geomorphic condition, providing valuable insights for river management and vegetation rehabilitation.

The re-greening of east coast Australian rivers: An unprecedented riparian transformation

Tim J. Cohen et al.

Summary: Eastern Australia's climate is characterized by extreme variability and recurring droughts. An analysis of river gauges reveals a significant decline in annual flow since 1992/93, particularly in the far South coast of New South Wales. Changes in land use and river management have contributed to the reduction in flow, coinciding with an increase in woody riparian vegetation. This increase in vegetation is the largest biogeomorphic change experienced by the SE Australian drainage network in centuries.

Rivers up in smoke: impacts of Australia's 2019-2020 megatires on riparian systems

K. A. Fryirs et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the extent and severity of fires on riparian systems in coastal catchments of New South Wales, Australia. The findings show that more than half of the analyzed streams were impacted by burning, with a significant portion experiencing extreme or high-severity burning. The widespread and synchronous burning of riparian systems is unprecedented, highlighting the need for evolving riparian management strategies to mitigate future catastrophic fires.

Identifying corridors of river recovery in coastal NSW Australia, for use in river management decision support and prioritisation systems

Danelle Agnew et al.

Summary: By connecting corridors of river recovery, resilience can be built into river systems to mitigate against future floods and droughts. However, there is a lack of methods to identify where these corridors can be built in river management practice. The Open Access NSW River Styles database provides comprehensive information on geomorphic river condition and recovery potential, which can be used to analyze potential locations for river recovery corridors. The study found significant spatial variability in the types and lengths of connections made across different catchments. These findings provide important guidance for river conservation and rehabilitation activities in practice.

Stakeholders' views on natural flood management: Implications for the nature-based solutions paradigm shift?

Rosalind H. Bark et al.

Summary: Natural flood management (NFM) is a growing area of interest worldwide as an exemplar of nature-based solutions (NBS). A survey in the UK showed that while some stakeholders view NFM as a no-brainer, others are more cautious. Disagreements exist among stakeholders regarding the responsibility and funding for implementing NFM.

How far have management practices come in 'working with the river'? COMMENT

Kirstie Fryirs et al.

Summary: The philosophy of 'working with nature' and 'working with the river' is becoming more prevalent in global management practices. The commentary discusses the importance of operationalizing this philosophy and emphasizes the need for continuous efforts, courage to face global challenges, and the promotion of diverse, inclusive, and open practice communities.

Things we can do now that we could not do before: Developing and using a cross-scalar, state-wide database to support geomorphologically-informed river management

Kirstie Fryirs et al.

Summary: This paper introduces the State-wide NSW River Styles database, which provides important baseline information for river management, enabling practitioners to conduct more systematic and contextualized planning and decision-making. The authors present the main findings from the database and caution on its limitations, while also sharing expert advice on lessons learned during its development.

Riverine large woody debris introduced for natural flood management leads to rapid improvement in aquatic macroinvertebrate diversity

Ashley Deane et al.

Summary: The addition of Large Wood Debris (LWD) in natural flood management schemes led to increased macroinvertebrate abundance and taxa richness in the intervention zone, with no change in water quality parameters. The presence of LWD caused a clear separation in invertebrate communities and led to the establishment of taxa that were otherwise absent. Additionally, LWD altered sediment distribution in the stream, improving biological complexity and niche availability in the in-channel zone.

Summary: The study conducted in the Eddleston catchment over 9 years revealed that NFM interventions can significantly delay the hydrological response time in upstream catchments smaller than 26 km(2), while the effects are less pronounced in larger catchments and those treated with riparian planting alone.

Nature-based solutions efficiency evaluation against natural hazards: Modelling methods, advantages and limitations

Prashant Kumar et al.

Summary: Nature-based solutions for hydro-meteorological risks reduction are gaining popularity, but the current state-of-the-art models and tools are still in development and need further refinement to evaluate performance and cost-effectiveness. Various numerical models and tools can be used to assess the effectiveness of NBS for different risks, but bespoke tools are required to holistically evaluate the components of NBS for optimal implementation and management.

Role of forested land for natural flood management in the UK: A review

Matt M. D. Cooper et al.

Summary: Natural flood management involves using natural processes and environments to reduce flood risk, with different types of woodlands being one potential measure. While studies have shown that carefully planned and managed woodlands can help mitigate flood risk, there is a lack of published data on this evidence base, highlighting the need for further research. The suggestion of a combined canopy/hydrological model to guide future woodland creation policies is proposed as a way forward.
