Title Abstract Case study(ies)
Post-fire water retention management : The case study of Ancient Olympia, Greece The retention measures include the temporary installation of structures utilizing locally available timber in order to increase water retention and prevent soil erosion and flood events. Water retention management in the broader area of Ancient Olympia, Elia, Greece
Restoration of the archeological and the broader landscape of Olympia Project report Water retention management in the broader area of Ancient Olympia, Elia, Greece
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
Nieuwe stad, schoon water a design of a sustainable water management system in the Leische Rijn area includes ecological, hydrological and biological impacts Leidsche Rijn sustainable urban development, Netherlands
Voorbereiding praktijkonderzoek verticaal doorstroomd hylofytenfilter study practical case vertical flow reedbed. Conclusions of the literature research and research of the Leidsche Rijn. ALso conclusions of laboratory extra research on different layouts of the filter and different phosphate binding materials. Balance-tests and column-tests were done. Leidsche Rijn sustainable urban development, Netherlands
Approval for environmental terms for implementation of forest hydroeconomy works in mountainous areas in part of the river basin of Xiropotamos The retention measures include afforastation and planting as well as construction of small scale dams to decrease the stream gradient in order to decrease soil erosion and flood events. Increasing water retention through afforestation, landscaping and reducing the stream gradient in Xiropotamos River Basin, Greece
