Call for Water Stewardship Case Studies
Wednesday, May 9, 2018
It's time to shout about what we do
CaBA and the Rivers Trust are looking to draw together some case studies of the amazing work you all do, particularly with businesses, to use in their discussions with others about the advice we can provide through the Water Stewardship service.
The 'Water Wheel' below splits this into specific topics, for which we'd like two case studies each.
River Trusts Expand Across Ireland
Tuesday, May 23, 2017
We now have a total of 14 rivers trusts across the island of Ireland.
In Northern Ireland, the rivers trust network stretches from the Lagan River in the east to Erne system in the west, with a total of 8 trusts across the Province. Two of these rivers trusts, the River Blackwater Catchment trust and Erne Rivers Trust are cross-border, making them the first international rivers trusts.
New Study Shows that Natural Flood Management Could Reduce Flooding
Tuesday, May 23, 2017
A new modelling study, commissioned by The Rivers Trust, shows that extensive and appropriately located Natural Flood Management (NFM) could make a significant difference to flood flows which would compliment traditional engineering measures.
The Rivers Trust has been working with JBA Consulting, Lancaster University and United Utilities to investigate how extensive NFM in large recently flooded catchments could have reduced flood flows in extreme storms, such as Storm Desmond in December 2015, which caused an estimated £500million of damage.
