Natural flood management: Opportunities to implement nature-based solutions on privately owned land

Thomas Thaler et al.

Summary: The implementation of Natural Flood Management (NFM) as a nature-based solution (NbS) is promoted as a risk reduction strategy for sustainable flood risk management and climate change adaptation. NFM aims to provide multiple benefits, including increased biodiversity, improved water quality, and enhanced mental health. However, conflicts between stakeholders can hinder the successful implementation of NbS due to the need for private-owned or managed land. This article discusses the challenges and potential of implementing NFM as an alternative to traditional flood risk management measures.

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.

The Performance of Natural Flood Management at the Large Catchment-Scale: A Case Study in the Warwickshire Stour Valley

Tom Lavers et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the effectiveness of natural flood management (NFM) measures to reduce downstream fluvial flooding. The research finds that NFM can lower flood peaks and delay the time-to-peak, improving downstream communities' ability to respond to and prepare for floods. However, the impact of upstream NFM on downstream peak response diminishes as the severity of flood events increases.

Keith Beven et al.

Summary: This article investigates the potential of hillslope storage bunds as a natural flood management strategy to mitigate downstream flooding. The study emphasizes the need for a large number of storage facilities in any flood management scheme in order to have a significant impact on flood hydrographs and damages.

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.

Using micro-catchment experiments for multi-local scale modelling of nature-based solutions

Barry Hankin et al.

Summary: The Q-natural flood management project in Cumbria, UK, has developed 18 monitored micro-catchments in collaboration with the Environment Agency to quantify potential changes in observed flows resulting from nature-based solutions. By applying a donor-parameter-shift approach from modelling two micro-catchments to a larger scale, the study aims to improve distributed modelling of nature-based solutions such as tree-planting. The research suggests using donor-parameter-shifts at multi-local-scale catchments to prioritize communities at risk where nature-based solutions might be most effective.

Natural flood management, lag time and catchment scale: Results from an empirical nested catchment study

Andrew Black et al.

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.

Scientific evidence for ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction

K. Sudmeier-Rieux et al.

Summary: Ecosystems play a crucial role in reducing global disaster risk, but research in this area is still lacking, especially in the Global South. Many ecosystems can provide sustainable approaches to disaster risk reduction, but more research is needed to fill the gaps.
