Analysis of In-River Flood Measures on Flood Risk and Stream Ecosystem by Paired-Watershed Approach: a Case Study

Key Points

• Flood risk is significantly influenced by in-river flood measures, improving stream ecosystem health.
• Key evidence shows reduced flood risk in areas with managed in-river measures, enhancing biodiversity outcomes.
• Assessment using paired-watershed approach evaluates the interactions between flood management and ecosystems.
• Findings highlight the importance of integrating flood management strategies with environmental sustainability efforts.
