How can communities develop more effective approaches to flood management? I published a new article with Jeremy Carter and Amanda Winter in Environmental Policy and Governance about the opportunities and challenges in developing a catchment-scale approach to Natural Flood Management. Our findings from activities in the River Irwell in Greater Manchester Region show that a strong evidence base, dedicated funding, and strategic governance approaches are needed to reduce downstream flooding impacts. This research is part of the Peri-cene project that examined climate hazards and responses in the urban hinterlands in the UK and India.
