The Centre for Doctoral Training for Resilient Flood Futures (FLOOD-CDT) will train the next generation of research practitioners who will make a tangible difference to future flood management in the UK and internationally. Our goal is to provide a nurturing and inspiring training environment to develop the independent future leaders we need who can translate research and innovation into practice.

Planning to manage floods and drought often occur independently and over different planning cycles. However, interventions that address one type of hydrological hazard may influence the dynamics of another hazard. In recent decades nature-based solutions have become a popular intervention to reduce exposure to flood risk and the cascading impacts of climate change. Yet, little research has been done to understand and quantify the consequences of nature-based flood solutions on water resource supplies in the catchment during low flow periods. Indeed, few modelling frameworks exist to assess the interactions between nature-based solutions, flooding, and water supply, and there is limited understanding of how these interactions may evolve in the future under climate change and changing water demands.
Working with partners in the Environment Agency’s Climate Change and Resource Efficiency team, this project aims to address this knowledge gap by developing a holistic multi-model framework that simulates multiple interacting aspects of the water system. The framework will be used to further understanding and inform the management of evolving flood and water supply risks. The project will focus on a UK-based case study but will have international relevance for countries facing flooding and drought hazards.
