This half day online conference, hosted by the Urban Flood Resilience Research Consortium, looked at the latest landscape-led approaches to managing water in large scale developments and new communities. This is a great way to incorporate water landscapes into projects from the initial stages. |

Webinar: Mapping River Habitats From the Air
|
CIEEM held a webinar today on mapping river habitats from the air, and the use of drones for field surveys. The webinar started with a quick poll to determine how many of the audience had previously used aerial data to map habitats. The results came back with 45% of the audience having used this method before, and 55% having not used this before – a pretty even split! |
Webinar: Environment Agency NFM work & NFM in Environmental Land Management Schemes

Webinar: Making catchment data more available to end users
|
Matt Fry from UKCEH gave a presentation on making catchment data more available to end users across the UK and for researchers, and also trying to make research data more available generally.

Webinar: Data & Evidence to Support Habitat Restoration and Nature Recovery

Webinar: Advancing Data Sharing between the UK Water Industry and CaBA
|
CaBA and the Rivers Trust held a webinar today, on data sharing between CaBA and water companies. Dave Johnson (Rivers Trust/CaBA) opened the webinar by mentioning the biggest gaps in the CaBA data package. These are water company data, without which we can only partially understand hydrology; and monitoring data. The CaBA package includes Environment Agency monitoring data, but it is important to use more partnership data, plus information from water companies. |
