FARMING FLOODPLAINS for the FUTURE
Key Aim
To determine whether the farmed landscape can be viably managed in ways that
effectively reduce flood risk downstream, while at the same
time enhancing the natural environment.
• National pilot project• Looking at the practicalities of
implementing solutions on the ground
• To inform future policy direction

FARMING FLOODPLAINS for the FUTURE
Findings – Potential Cost Effectiveness
COST :- 436,000m3 @ £2.41/m3 =
£1,051,000
BENEFIT :- 314 houses @ £20,000 =
£6,280,000
COST / BENEFIT RATIO = 6 : 1
