Initiating a Scottish Natural Flood Management Network for sharing best practice
Scotland is seen as leading the way in the implementation of the Floods Directive, particularly with respect to natural flood management (NFM). There is a significant amount of work taking place across Scotland in order to deliver NFM projects and there is a clear need for knowledge exchange (e.g. sharing data and experiences) to aid coordination and avoid duplication. Knowledge exchange is vital if Local Authorities decide to take NFM projects forward to delivery on the ground.
