This project is to gain an understanding of the effectiveness of Natural Flood Management (NFM). It is a directed research programme that aims to improve understanding of the suitability and effectiveness of different NFM measures for a range of flood risk scenarios. The NFM programme is funded by NERC for 4 years from 2017-2021.
