Details

Working with natural processes (WWNP) involves taking action to manage fluvial and coastal flood erosion risk by protecting, restoring and emulating the natural regulating function of:

• catchments
• rivers
• floodplains
• coasts

This project has produced a framework for a comprehensive and prioritised programme of WWNP research and dissemination to allow flood and coastal erosion risk management to be carried out sustainably, improving the environment for people and wildlife.
