Partnership record for community NFM programmes.

How much can natural measures reduce flooding at large scales? To answer this question over the next three years the Q-NFM investigator team, lead by Lancaster University, will work in three large Cumbrian catchments (‘test basins’), the Eden, Derwent and Kent with their partners who are delivering NFM interventions .

The guidance is primarily for NFM scheme developers who use Leaky Woody Structures (LWS), but it will also inform landowners, commissioning bodies, contractors and consenting bodies about the risks they need to consider when planning the installation of these structures.

A case study – Modelling Natural Flood Management (NFM) interventions for multiple benefits and developing a market to drive investment for catchment and property resilience. 

This guide has been developed to provide simple, clear information on natural flood management measures for landowners and farmers in the North West.

This handbook provides information on NFM techniques, assessment tools, managing an NFM project and monitoring.

CaBA Partnerships and partner organisations are developing and using a range of exciting, interactive models to engage communities and help them explore how natural flood management works.

This guide has best practice recommendations and learning based on delivery of a number of different NFM techniques including offline and online flow storage, methods to intercept fast flow pathways, large woody debris, riparian zone management and habitat creation.

A practical guide for farmers and farm advisors to provide simple, clear advice and aid decision making on the delivery of natural flood management measures.
