A FEKETE-KÖRÖS ERDEINEK VíZPÓTLÁSA ÉS 15 ÉVES ÖKOLÓGIAI EREDMÉNYEI | Restoration of floodplain watercourse network to provide surface water supply to the forest from backwater of flood waves on the river Körös. During the execution of the job there came into being a 38.8 km long water-flow and a free water surface of 15.7 hectares. The work touched a forest area of more than 400 hectares with a direct positive ecological impact. During the execution of the system we were able to renovate partially a forest area damaged more than about 150 years ago. | Habitat Reconstruction in the forests of the Körös Valley, Hungary |
Potential Use of Runoff Attenuation Features in small Rural Catchments for Flood Mitigation | Development of a number of small scale, low cost soft engineered flood reduction schemes, designed to store/attenuate rapid runoff in small rural catchments. Design and implimentation of a network of 35 NWRM measures in a Northumberland catchment. To aid understanding of how features impact on downstream flood hazard. | Rural runoff attenuation in the Belford catchment, UK |
A framework for managing runoff and pollution in the rural landscape using a Catchment Systems Engineering approach | Here a framework for applying a CSE approach to the catchment is shownin a step by step guide to implementing mitigation measures in the Belford Burn catchment. The framework is based around engagement with catchment stakeholders. | Rural runoff attenuation in the Belford catchment, UK |
Belford catchment proactive flood soutions: storing and attenuating runoff on farms | This paper represents the hydrological charateristics of the catchment, the design of pilot ponds and initial results | Rural runoff attenuation in the Belford catchment, UK |
Runoff management: Mitigation measures for disconnecting flow pathways in the Belford Burn catchmen to reduce flood Risk | This paper provides information on the NWRM features applied in the site | Rural runoff attenuation in the Belford catchment, UK |
Runoff Attenuation Features - A guide for all those working in catchment Management | This is a guide to runoff attenuation features (technical issues, environmental considerations etc) based on the work carried out as part of the Belford Catchment Solutions Project. | Rural runoff attenuation in the Belford catchment, UK |
Hopital cantonnal, zone sud; toiture végétalisée | In 1973, it has been decided to install green roofs on new buildings of the southern area of the Hospital City in Geneva. The aim was first to rebuild a biotope which had disapeared in the urban area; architects became aware of the benefits that green roofs could provide on water retention only later, in 1989. | Green roofs in Geneva, Switzerland |
Stormwater management at the local scale: a green roof study, review and lessons learned | Green roofs in Geneva, Switzerland | |
Climate Proofing Housing Landscapes | This is the website describing elements of the project urban climate proofing, a project in inner London, a Life+ project (2013-2016) who developed an integrated approach to climate adaptation in urban areas by undertaking a package of affordable, light-engineering climate change adaptation measures based around the retrofitting of blue and green infrastructure.
