26. Floods Directive & Hydromorpholgy Measures
This presentation was given as part of the EPA-funded Catchment Science and Management Course focusing on Integrated Catchment Management, held in June 2015. This course was delivered by RPS Consultants. If you have any queries or comments, or wish to use the material in this presentation, please contact catchments@epa.ie
It is increasingly being recognised internationally that integrated catchment management (ICM) is a useful organising framework for tackling the ongoing challenge of balancing sustainable use and development of our natural resource, against achieving environmental goals. The basic principles of ICM (Williams, 2012) are to:
• Take a holistic and integrated approach to the management of land, biodiversity, water and community resources at the water catchment scale;
• Involve communities in planning and managing their landscapes; and
• Find a balance between resource use and resource conservation
ICM is now well established in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. In Europe the ICM approach has been proposed as being required to achieve effective water and catchment management, and is the approach being promoted by DEFRA for the UK, where it is called the “Catchment Based Approach” (CaBA). The principles and methodologies behind ICM sit well within the context of the Water Framework Directive with its aims and objectives for good water quality, sustainable development and public participation in water resource management. In Ireland it is proposed that the ICM approach will underlie the work and philosophy in developing and implementing future River Basin Management Plans.

Understanding and Managing Visitor Use on the Virgin River, Utah - Ericka Pil...
This session describes lessons learned while addressing visitor use management and visitor capacity during the development of the Comprehensive River Management Plan for the Virgin River at Zion National Park and adjacent BLM Wilderness. This plan used a proactive and adaptive process of planning for and managing characteristics of visitor use and its physical and social setting. The process provides a variety of strategies and tools to sustain desired conditions for river values and provides the framework within which visitor capacity should be addressed when necessary. The plan followed guidance from both the Interagency Wild and Scenic Rivers Coordination Council (IWSRCC) and the Interagency Visitor Use Management Council (IVUMC). Updates on the work of the IVUMC will be provided during this session. The IVUMC collaborated with the IWSRCC on their guidebook for “Addressing User Capacities in Comprehensive River Management Plans”. The IVUMC is also working to complete “how-to” guidebooks for the visitor use management framework, visitor capacity, and indicators and thresholds. Progress on these topics will be discussed in the context of the Virgin River planning effort.
Key Learning Objectives:
1) Understanding the planning framework for visitor use on Wild and Scenic Rivers
2) Gaining awareness about progress for visitor use management guidance on Wild and Scenic Rivers
3) Learning about how to address visitor capacity on Wild and Scenic Rivers

Milestones include identifying national measures for assessing susceptibility and vulnerability, developing methodologies for hazard mapping and vulnerability assessment, and creating a drought risk management scheme for the Odra River basin. Ongoing work involves inventorying data, assessing monitoring networks, identifying vulnerable sectors, and developing components of the management scheme.
Keynote 9 Transboundary climate risks- NAP Expo 2019
This document discusses transboundary climate risks and how to manage them. It defines transboundary climate risks as risks created by climate impacts or adaptation responses that cross national borders. It provides examples of transboundary food price and flooding risks. It emphasizes the need to address knowledge gaps, adopt new approaches, enhance regional cooperation, facilitate transboundary adaptation responses, and strengthen resources to manage these risks. Reframing adaptation as a global public good could help by considering transboundary risks in addition to local risks and requiring transparency, cross-border thinking, and increased multilateral cooperation.

Case study:The Mekong Wetlands Biodiversity Programme (Meynell, Peter-John)
The document provides an overview of the Mekong Wetlands Biodiversity Programme, which aims to conserve and sustainably use wetland resources in the Lower Mekong Basin. The program focuses on environmental flows, economic valuation of wetlands, and developing financing mechanisms. It works at regional, national and local levels through activities like wetland management planning, livelihood enhancement, and strengthening capacity. Environmental flows research models the impacts of different water development scenarios. Valuation demonstrates wetlands' economic and social values to support planning and decision making. The program seeks to learn through these processes and provide guidance to countries.
Case study:The Mekong Wetlands Biodiversity Programme (Meynell, Peter-John)
What is the programme about: Based upon the principle that conservation can only be achieved through promotion of sustainable use of wetland resources.
Goal: Conservation and Sustainable Use of Wetland Biodiversity in the Lower Mekong Basin.
Purpose: To strengthen regional, national and local capacities for conservation and sustainable use of wetlands in the Lower Mekong Basin.
Coastal Urban Flood Risk Management
This document provides an overview of coastal urban flood risk management. It discusses the increased occurrences of floods and their threat to coastal areas. The need to integrate risk management and development approaches is highlighted. Asia has seen a rising trend in flood disasters compared to other disasters in the last 28 years. Coastal cities like Kolkata and Mumbai have high percentages of their areas at risk of flooding. The aim of the study is to plan for resilient urban developments through a flood risk management approach. Objectives include understanding causes and impacts of floods, studying regulations and plans, and applying a Coastal Disaster Risk Index to propose an adaptive strategy for Kochi, India. The scope is a city-level analysis and limitations include data accuracy and quality
SPC Water Framework Directive_Final
This document provides an update on Ireland's implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and water quality monitoring efforts in Fingal. It outlines the goals of the WFD to protect water resources and achieve good water status. Monitoring data from Fingal's rivers shows phosphorus and other pollutants above limits. The data is analyzed to identify seasonal and spatial trends in order to determine pressures from sectors like agriculture and inform enforcement and mitigation strategies to improve water quality as required under the WFD.
Engaging communities with flood issues
This document discusses engaging communities around flood issues. It finds that citizens' water literacy and experience with flooding can influence their actions and acceptance of flood protection strategies. Those with higher water literacy are more likely to adopt water-saving practices and alternative water sources. Focus groups in Brisbane and Bendigo found that flooding is a highly salient issue for those who have directly experienced it. Drawing from protection motivation theory, factors like experience of floods, home ownership, and belief in one's ability to take effective action can motivate flood mitigation behaviors. The document argues for public engagement approaches on flood issues that go beyond just information dissemination to incorporate citizen participation.
Benefits of data sharing before, during and after flood events
This document discusses the benefits of data sharing before, during, and after flood events. It provides three examples: the Netherlands, South Africa, and Queensland, Australia. In the Netherlands, over 50% of the land can flood but over 80% of people think flooding will not occur and over 90% do not know what to do if it does. A joint information dashboard was created in the Netherlands for improved water management across five organizations. This allowed for shared data and visions, reduced costs, and would have prevented damage from flood cases. Similar benefits could be achieved in South Africa and Queensland through better coordination and open data policies.

The Netherlands has a long history of managing floods through systems of dykes and water boards. Recent developments in their approach include "Building with Nature" and emphasizing collaboration between different levels of government. Two examples given are Room for the River, which makes space for water in river floodplains, and Katwijk, where various stakeholders worked together on coastal protection solutions that considered flood safety as well as other spatial qualities. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of anticipating floods rather than only reacting to disasters, and taking an integrated, collaborative approach.
Breaching the barriers to effective flood risk management
Breaching the barriers to effective flood risk management - Observations from current Queensland experience
Dealing with uncertanties in hydrologic studies
This document summarizes techniques for dealing with uncertainties in hydrologic studies. It discusses risk analysis, statistical methods like histograms and distribution fitting, and joint probability methods. Joint probability methods account for multiple factors that influence flood levels, like rainfall, reservoir levels, and ocean water levels. The Brisbane River Catchment Flood Study is highlighted, which uses flood frequency analysis, design events, and a Monte Carlo joint probability approach to estimate flood probabilities at various locations with and without dams. Correlations between factors and realistic rainfall patterns are important for the Monte Carlo method.
Resetting the benchmark in the Brisbane River
The document discusses resetting the benchmark for Brisbane River floods based on new information from the 2011 flood. It summarizes that the 2011 flood provided data like Wivenhoe Dam releases and new river flow measurements that indicated previous flood estimates, including for the 1893 and 1974 floods, were too low. The document outlines how Seqwater collected data on almost 50 floods back to 1887 and developed calibrated models to better estimate flood peaks and volumes to help with dam operations, flood studies, and disaster management.
Logan flood project
The document discusses TERN, the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network, which supports coordinated ecosystem science in Australia through infrastructure and networks. It enables long-term collection, storage, synthesis and sharing of ecosystem data to connect science with policy and management. The Australian Coastal Ecosystems Facility and SEQuITOR project are also summarized as examples of initiatives that leverage TERN's infrastructure to provide access to coastal and southeast Queensland ecosystem data through interactive maps, charts and other tools.
International practice for the design of levees - Smith
The document discusses international best practices for levee design as outlined in the International Levee Handbook (ILH). It provides background on the author and describes how the ILH was a collaborative effort between countries to develop comprehensive guidance after failures like Hurricane Katrina. The ILH covers all aspects of levee management from operation to design and represents an international community of practice on levees. It provides decision support for practitioners while incorporating national standards.
Levees in a Changing Environment
Ellen Tromp gave a presentation on levee management in the Netherlands, Europe, and worldwide. She discussed the over 15,000 km of levees in the Netherlands, the shift to flood risk management focusing on prevention, room for rivers, and building with nature. She also covered levee strength assessment, monitoring systems, and strategies for spatially integrating levees and land use planning to increase robustness for climate change. Tromp concluded that effective flood risk management requires preventing floods, reducing risks, and emergency response planning, while accounting for changing hydraulic and built environments over time.
Regulation of levees in Queensland - Foreman
Mark outlined the new framework, described the various components and detailed how it has and will continue to evolve.
James Davidson - 18 March 2014
Dr James Davidson is an architect with an interest in housing design in flood impacted parts of the world. James is a Churchill Fellow who recently travelled to the USA, UK and the Netherlands to gain knowledge in best practice flood-resilient housing.
