Implication

Evidence synthesis evaluates the effectiveness of catchment-based natural flood management interventions, highlighting policy pathways to mitigate climate-driven flood risks.

Key Points

To synthesize and assess the natural science evidence base regarding the effectiveness of catchment-based natural flood management techniques for non-specialist decision-makers.
Reviewed natural science literature concerning catchment-scale flood interventions and processes that work with natural systems.
Classified evidence statements into four distinct categories based on the nature and certainty of the underlying scientific data.
Compiled a comprehensive annotated bibliography alongside a concise summary appendix to support environmental policy development.
Categorized scientific evidence demonstrating that working with natural processes across catchments provides viable options to reduce flood risk.
Identified variations in evidence strength across intervention types, emphasizing the need for structured classification to inform catchment management strategies.
