Workshop content:

Post Storm Desmond, there has been a heightened focus on flood resilience, catchment management and natural flood management. Using FLD’s High Borrowdale as an example, we will explore :

• How can we make communities and landscape more resilient to floods?
• How can catchment management help?
• What is the role for natural flood management techniques v hard engineering?
• What is the science behind a lot of the new techniques?
• What is currently happening in Cumbria?
• What compromises to the landscape may we have to make?
