SEPA launch new Natural Flood Management Handbook

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency have recently published a new handbook to help local authorities and landowners implement natural flood management measures.

The Natural Flood Management Handbook was launched at an event held by the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management. The impact of recent flooding has shown that new ways to manage flooding are needed, and the handbook details how natural flood management can contribute, as part of a suite of measures, to help reduce the impact of frequent flooding on a smaller scale.
