Natural Flood Management (NFM) techniques are increasingly used to manage flood risk by restoring floodplain processes and increasing storage. Quickly identifying historical floodplains and areas for reconnection can help prioritise NFM activities.
RRC is offering a training course in this area. It requires no prior knowledge of GIS, geomorphology or modelling. Aerial photo interpretation, GIS, fieldwork, lab work and geomorphology will be used to indicate historical floodplain boundaries, surface runoff pathways and demonstrate potential areas of flood storage. Output maps can be used to highlight priority areas for floodplain restoration and flood retention areas.
This course introduces the Hydrogeomorphological Cartographic Method (HGM), a tool for mapping historical floodplain boundaries and identifying restoration areas.
Ideal for river managers, rivers trusts, local authorities, and government organisations, this course provides practical skills for managing flood risks and enhancing river systems.
What did past participants think?
“I’ll be using this to help develop NFM projects in which I am involved”
“It was also useful to know that you don’t have to be an expert in mapping to use the tools!”
