Integrated Catchment Delivery Event - Connecting Rivers, People and Partnerships
As part of the Integrated Catchment Delivery Events Programme, last week I attended a catchment delivery and partnership event organised by the Institute of Fisheries Management, Environment Agency, the Catchment Based Approach and CIWEM.
NFM Training Course
Two weeks ago RRC held two training courses back-to-back focusing on Natural Flood Management (NFM).
Day 1 - Mapping Historical Floodplains using the Hydrogeomorphological Survey
The first of our Natural Flood Management courses was titled “Mapping Historical Floodplains using the Hydrogeomorphological Survey”. The aim of this course was to introduce a method for producing a map which represents inundation zones and flood pathways on a floodplain.
Integrated Catchment Delivery Site Visit
| As part of a series of events held by the Environment Agency, I was lucky enough to go along to a Site Visit on the Thames catchment, around Reading and Newbury last week. Around 40 interested delegates from a range of organisations attended including consultancies, government agencies, local authorities, academia, and trusts. Attendees were interested in a range of themes surrounding the projects, including flooding, understanding Catchment Partnerships, and lessons learnt through the restoration projects. |
RRC Members' Site Visit: River Avon Project
| Earlier this week, RRC held a site visit to the winner of the 2017 UK River Prize - the River Avon, Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset. The visit took place in Salisbury, with participants observing restoration techniques at two sites. | |
