Online Talk: A Nature-based Approach to Flood Management
About
Ousewem is an innovative flood resilience project identifying and delivering nature-based solutions (NbS) and natural flood management (NFM) to reduce flood risk in vulnerable North Yorkshire communities, spanning Yorkshire’s Swale, Ure, Nidd and Ouse (SUNO) catchments. The project, funded by Defra is part of the £200 million Flood and Coastal Innovation Programmes managed by the Environment Agency. The programmes will drive innovation in flood and coastal resilience and adaptation to a changing climate.
Amanda Crossfield from Yorkshire Dales Rivers Trust – one of Ousewem’s delivery partners – will provide insights into its ongoing work using NbS and NFM techniques which aim to strengthen flood resilience in at-risk North Yorkshire communities whilst enhancing the local environment and supporting a sustainable, adaptive agriculture landscape.
