Implication

Critical review identifies fragmented rural and urban flood mitigation strategies in the UK, highlighting the need for unified catchment-wide management frameworks.

Key Points

To evaluate the varied terminology and applications of sustainable flood management approaches across rural and urban landscapes and propose a unified catchment-scale framework.
Critically reviewed flood management terminology, frameworks, and practical applications across rural and urban environments in the UK.
Assessed systemic divisions between rural Natural Flood Management (NFM) and urban Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS).
Revealed institutional and funding disconnects caused by managing rural and urban flood risks separately rather than applying an integrated source-to-sea perspective.
Outlined four imperatives for catchment management: shifting focus to unified catchment-wide scales, enacting robust regulatory policies, assessing long-term maintenance costs, and developing multi-scale flow models.
