Bringing together a range of stakeholders to look at flood risk management opportunities
Using methods developed through the GBI and SUIM project, combined with the network established through the NFM CoP, iCASP has delivered three Flood Risk Management Workshops across West Yorkshire. These brought together academics with LAs, EA, infrastructure providers and others working in catchment management to identify joint aims and investment opportunities where multiple benefits might be delivered, not just the reduction of flood risk. These events highlighted priority areas and informed flood risk management plans and fostered new partnerships, which are now being used to draft business cases for investment.
