How can we adapt flood and water quality treatment infrastructure to meet the challenges posed by changes in climate, governance, economic development and environmental values that are unavoidable, but uncertain? 2. How can flood models, infrastructure data and community exposure/vulnerability information be combined to support local, regional and national assessment of the potential for integrated B/G+G infrastructure to meet these challenges? 3. How can engineered flood and water systems be aligned with natural processes to: (a) realise the resource potential of all forms of urban water (b) become inter-operable with other urban systems?

Adopting a whole systems approach, key themes include developing adaptive approaches for flexible engineering design of coupled grey and blue-green flood management assets; exploiting the resource potential of urban stormwater through rainwater harvesting, urban metabolism modelling and interoperability; and investigating the interactions between planners, developers, engineers and communities at multiple scales in managing flood risk. The work is producing new modelling tools and an extensive evidence base to support the case for multifunctional infrastructure that delivers multiple, environmental, societal and economic benefits, while enhancing urban flood resilience by bringing stormwater management and green infrastructure together.

  • Blue-Green Cities Key Project Outputs
    www.bluegreencities.ac.uk @BlueGreenCities Delivering and Evaluating Multiple Flood Risk Benefits in Blue-Green Cities Key Project Outputs EPSRC Project EP/K013661/1 February 2013 – February 2016 A Blue-Green City aims to recreate a naturally-oriented water cycle while contributing to the amenity of the city by bringing water management and green infrastructure together. This is achieved by combining and protecting the hydrological and ecological values of the urban landscape while providing resilient and adaptive measures to deal with flood events. The Blue-Green Cities Research Consortium aimed to develop new strategies for managing urban flood risk as part of wider, integrated urban planning intended to achieve environmental enhancement and urban renewal in which multiple benefits of Blue-Green Cities are rigorously evaluated and understood. The Consortium’s objectives were to: 1. Put competent authorities, businesses and communities at the centre of the research by establishing feedback pathways between them and the urban flood risk management (FRM) modellers, planners and decision makers to ensure co-production of knowledge; 2. Model existing flood risks using coupled surface/sub-surface hydrodynamic models linked to semi-quantitative assessments of sediment/debris dynamics and habitats, using fieldwork where necessary to fill knowledge gaps in urban drainage network forms and functions; 3. Identify and assess candidate options for adaptive strategies combining hard and soft responses to flood risk that are capable of functioning as spatially-integrated, urban FRM systems; 4. Use fieldwork to identify and understand the behavioural responses of individual and institutional stakeholders to the candidate options for urban FRM; 5. Synthesise existing and novel performance measures to identify ‘value added’ at a range of scales and under flood/non-flood conditions, in an ensemble of possible flood futures; 6.

  • River Sediment Dynamics Short Course
    River Sediment Dynamics Short Course Tuesdays and Thursdays in October 2020 – 2 pm to 5 pm Outline This remotely taught short course covers the fluvial processes responsible for erosion, transport and deposition of sediment within rivers, providing a fundamental understanding of how sediment dynamics drive channel formation, adjustment and evolution. The course also deals with how sediment dynamics can be investigated and accounted for in the contexts of practical river management and restoration. During this course, students will learn about: (1) the physics of sediment erosion, transport and deposition, (2) interactions between fluvial processes, sediment movement and channel form, (3) the roles of plants and animals in influencing sediment dynamics and channel form, (4) practical methods to predict and model sediment transport using spreadsheets, one- dimensional, and two-dimensional models (5) how knowledge of sediment dynamics can inform sustainable river management and, especially, river restoration Students will undertake hands-on practical work to learn how to use different types of sediment transport software and we will use case-studies to learn how to select the sediment analysis and tool appropriate for application in different river management and restoration contexts and projects. Instructors Dr Colin Thorne is Chair of Physical Geography at the University of Nottingham, UK. He earned his BSc and PhD in Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia under the supervision of Dr Richard Hey and his early professional career was mentored by Dr Daryl Simons and Dr Stanley A. Schumm at Colorado State University. In a career spanning five decades, Colin has researched and taught not only at Nottingham and CSU, but also London University, Canterbury University (New Zealand), the USDA National Sedimentation Laboratory, US Army Waterways Experiment Station and NOAA Fisheries (Santa Rosa, CA).

THORNE (2), EMILY LAWSON (2) (1): School of Civil Engineering, University of Leeds, Leeds, LS2 9JT, UK. (2): School of Geography, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, NG7 2RD, UK In the UK a research consortium has been funded to develop new strategies for managing urban flood risk as part of wider, integrated urban planning intended to achieve environmental enhancement and urban renewal in which multiple benefits of Blue-Green Cities are rigorously evaluated and understood. This approach is very much part of the resilience paradigm and seeks to develop the socio-technical tools required to fully evaluate resilience options as part of a wider system. INTRODUCTION It is widely acknowledged that flood risk is increasing across the globe due to the combination of urbanisation, economic growth and a changing climate. This combination makes those living in cities particularly vulnerable. In England over 2.4 million properties are at risk of fluvial or coastal flooding, with a further 2.8 million properties susceptible to surface water flooding [1].

  • Natural Flood Management Oxford Martin Restatement 4: a Restatement of the Natural Science Evidence Concerning Catchment-Based ‘Natural’ Flood Management in the UK
    4 Natural flood management Oxford Martin Restatement 4: A restatement of the natural science evidence concerning catchment-based ‘natural’ flood management in the UK Oxford Martin Restatements review the natural science evidence base underlying areas of current policy concern and controversy. Written in policy neutral terms and designed to be read by an informed but not technically specialist audience, restatements are produced by a writing team reflecting the breadth of opinion on the topic in the science community and involve wide consultation with interested stakeholders. The final version of the restatement is peer- reviewed prior to publication. This paper was published in March 2017 in the Proceedings of the Royal Society A. It deals with catchment-based ‘natural’ flood management in the United Kingdom. Flooding is a very costly natural hazard in the UK and is expected to increase further under future climate change scenarios. Flood defences are commonly deployed to protect communities and property from flooding, but in recent years flood management policy has looked towards solutions that seek to mitigate flood risk at flood-prone sites through targeted interventions throughout the catchment, sometimes using techniques which involve working with natural processes. This Restatement provides a succinct summary of the natural science evidence base concerning the effectiveness of catchment-based ‘natural’ flood management in the UK. The evidence summary is designed to be read by an informed but not technically specialist audience. Each evidence statement is placed into one of the four categories describing the nature of the underlying information. This pdf contains: Pages 1-6 A short paper describing the project Pages 6-19 The restatement itself which is the formal appendix to the paper Pages 20-31 An annotated bibliography of the evidence underlying the restatement (officially the Electronic Supplementary Material accompanying the paper).
