The Environment Agency have published an update to the Working with Natural Processes evidence directory. This was developed in collaboration with JBA Consulting. 

The Working with Natural Processes Evidence Directory was first published in 2017 and captures what research says about NFM. Evidence of NFM has grown in recent years, building our confidence in the flood risk and wider benefits these approaches can bring. Therefore this update report brings in the latest evidence. 

The updated evidence base shows flood risk reduction and wider benefits vary across measures and aids with understanding what works best where. It also indicates that there is still more to learn about NFM, but the research gaps are closing and are more detail orientated.
