Скачать или смотреть Creating Riverwoods: Floodplains

As climate breakdown increases the likelihood of heavy rainfall events – increasing peak flows to dangerous levels in our narrowly confined rivers – efforts are being made across Scotland to reunite rivers with their natural floodplains, revitalising wetlands and slowing river flows. Natural floodplains slow the rate at which water travels downstream, protecting salmon eggs in vulnerable gravel beds and protecting infrastructure, creating dividends for both people and wildlife.
