Natural flood management for disaster risk reduction

The aim of this study is to empirically assess the effectiveness of green infrastructure (GI) in South Korea as a way to enhance flood resilience.

Nature-based solutions (NbS), such as restoring wetlands and reconnecting floodplains, can significantly reduce flood impacts by slowing and absorbing runoff.

The man-made wetlands and ponds can help prevent flooding in homes and buildings, and return cleaner water to the ocean.

This paper provides credible quantified flood risk reduction evidence for natural flood management (NFM), in addition to acknowledging further un-quantified benefits for biodiversity, carbon sequestration, well-being and many others.

This study used a coupled hydrological-hydrodynamic model to evaluate the effectiveness of multiple natural flood management interventions, including woodland planting, hedge planting, soil aeration, riparian buffer strips and leaky dams.

Nature-based approaches to flood management are gaining attention. To help communities better understand how these approaches can help mitigate floods, experts at The Australian National University (ANU) have developed a new toolkit.

This document provides the results of work by a research team from the Australian National University Institute for Climate, Energy & Disaster Solutions collaborating with communities in New South Wales and Queensland to explore Nature-based Solutions.

Copenhagen is enacting an ambitious plan to build hundreds of nature-based and engineered projects to soak up, store, and redistribute future floods.

A new report commissioned by RSA Insurance, an Intact company, and The Wildlife Trusts shows that every £1 invested in natural flood management (NFM) is expected to deliver £10 of benefits over 30 years.
