Abstract/Summary

The Littlestock Brook Natural Flood Management (NFM) pilot scheme in the Evenlode Catchment was established in 2017/2018 as a catchment-based approach to alleviate flood risk to the downstream community whilst also delivering benefits for water quality. Hydrological monitoring at multiple scales has allowed us to investigate the efficacy of offline storage features and pond interventions for both flood attenuation and diffuse pollution mitigation. We present findings on the cumulative effect of these interventions to reduce downstream flood peaks and to intercept and store fine sediment and nutrients.
