NERC NFM Research Programme

NERC Natural Flood Management (NFM) Research Programme Webinar Series

As part of the research programme we are running as series monthly webinars during 2019–2021 to allow NFM researchers and practitioners to share knowledge and experience.  Recordings of webinars are available on this channel.  Speakers include researchers from the three projects that comprise the programme and representatives from partner organisations including research organisations, govt agencies, NGOs and business.

We are carrying out novel environmental science to improve understanding of different NFM measures for a range of flood risk scenarios.  The four year £4m study programme is funded by NERC.

The research has been co-designed with project partners Defra, the Environment Agency, Scottish Environmental Protection Agency, the Welsh Government and Natural Resources Wales.

NFM approaches address flood risk by protecting, restoring and emulating the natural regulating function of catchments and rivers.
