Natural flood management (NFM)

Thanks to the valuable support of local landowners, communities within the Natural Flood Management catchment areas are becoming better protected from flooding due to the increasing number of NFM measures within their catchments. Collectively, individual NFM projects are working together to slow the flow of water and reduce the flood peak.

Here's some examples of the NFM measures that have been implemented so far, including testimonies from the landowners sharing their experiences of NFM and the benefits.
