Compilation of new evidence for the effectiveness of measures to emulate natural flood management (NFM) in the last 5 years

This poster summarises a range of new findings on monitoring and modelling the effectiveness of Natural Flood Management including from NERC/UKRI NFM programme over the last five years covering a range of nature based solutions designed to slow, store and infiltrate flood water. The updates cover the following areas: Quantitative evidence (monitoring and modelling) of effectiveness of different NFM features or systems of features; Performance failure of NFM measures or systems of measures; Evidence for climate change resilience of measures;  Trade-offs between clusters of NFM features versus large individual NFM features; Evidence for resilience of NFM at high and low flows and; Evidence for integrated benefits including water resources and water quality in combination with flood risk regulation; Advances in distributed modelling of different NFM features and evidence for shifts in effective parameter shifts; Scaling modelled parameter shifts to represent changes at larger scales.

The poster also solicits additional quantitative evidence from international colleagues and will be used to update evidence summaries being used in the UK.
