SUMMARY:What role can modelling have in the design of catchment-scale Natu
 ral Flood Management? - Charlie Ferguson\, FIBE

DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, catchment-wide approaches for mitigating flo
 od risk have become increasingly common throughout the UK. One such approa
 ch is to use Natural Flood Management interventions (tree planting\, moor 
 restoration\, woody-debris dams etc.) to 'slow the flow'. Local stakeholde
 rs (often in groups such as Catchment Management Partnerships) now play a 
 strong role in designing NFM\, but face multiple challenges. This seminar 
 will discuss these challenges to provide context for a novel coupled model
 ling methodology. Some initial results will also be presented to evaluate 
 the ability of NFM to desynchronise river tributary responses.
