Natural Flood Management (NFM) measures are being widely introduced with the aim of attenuating flood peaks and alleviating downstream flooding. These measures aim to mimic natural processes and so have the potential to not only 鈥榮low the flow鈥� but also deliver other hydrogeomorphological benefits.
This webinar will focus on two main areas. First it will consider the breadth of NFM measures and their potential to interlink and emulate natural processes. Second, it will focus on one particularly popular NFM measure, the installation of 鈥榣eaky barriers鈥�. It will consider what we can learn from the hydrogeomorphological benefits of natural wood morphodynamics when designing and maintaining these features.
