Flood mitigation

Floodplain Restoration

Floodplain Restoration
Challenges / Problems Addressed

•    Increased flood risks due to river channelization
•    Water pollution from sediment and nutrient runoff
•    Loss of wetland and riparian habitats

Impact / Success Indicators and Results

•    Reduction in flood severity and property damage
•    Improved water quality through sediment and nutrient retention
•    Increased biodiversity and habitat restoration
•    Enhanced groundwater recharge and carbon sequestration

Riparian Buffers

Riparian Buffers
Challenges / Problems Addressed

•    Water pollution from agricultural and urban runoff
•    Riverbank erosion and habitat degradation
•    Loss of biodiversity in aquatic and riparian ecosystems

Impact / Success Indicators and Results

•    Reduction in nutrient and sediment pollution entering water bodies
•    Improved water quality and reduced erosion
•    Increased biodiversity and wildlife habitat
•    Enhanced flood resilience and carbon sequestration

Constructed or Restored Wetlands

Constructed or Restored Wetlands
Challenges / Problems Addressed

•    Flooding due to excess stormwater
•    Water pollution from agricultural, industrial, and urban runoff
•    Loss of natural wetland ecosystems and biodiversity

Impact / Success Indicators and Results

•    Reduction in flood risks by storing and slowly releasing water
•    Improved water quality through natural filtration of nutrients and contaminants
•    Restoration of ecosystems and increase in biodiversity
•    Carbon sequestration and climate regulation
