Summary

This dataset concerns the spatial prioritisation of catchments suitable for reducing flood risk using Natural Flood Management or land use management and land use change within the Environmental Land Management pilot schemes.

This map has been produced to assist the prioritisation of Natural Flood Management or land use / land management changes with the aim of slowing flows to reduce the risk of fluvial and surface water flooding. It has been specifically created to contribute to the spatial prioritisation of catchments within the pilot Local Nature Recovery and Landscape Recovery land management schemes for NFM interventions, but also within the other grant awarding schemes such as the England Woodland Creation scheme and the England Peatland restoration scheme.

The types of interventions relevant to this spatial prioritisation include changes to vegetation cover, farming practices, small scale structures to store water or small scale re-naturalisation of streams and ditches, or other interventions that work with natural processes to slow flows of water within watercourses or overland flow. The prioritisation map aims to identify catchments where these "slow the flow" type NFM measures, or other associated land use or land management changes, will be most effective in reducing flood risk and will maximise the number of properties protected.

The prioritisation has not been developed to inform other Flood Risk Management schemes or interventions (non NFM interventions). Attribution statement: © Environment Agency copyright and/or database right 2021. All rights reserved.
