Natural Flood Management
Natural Flood Management or Natural Water Retention Measures is a means of alleviating flooding through the use of natural processes.
In December 2020, the Inishowen Rivers Trust was awarded ~€135,000 from the EU LEADER Programme, OPW, Local Authority Waters Programme (LAWPRO) and Donegal County Council to bring nature based flood solutions to the Clonmany area. Over the last three years the Trust has increased our knowledge of Natural Flood Management (NFM) through a series of awareness raising events, a scoping project with Trinity College and community engagement in Carndonagh and Clonmany.
This new project engages a number of experts in various fields and is titled ‘On the Ground – Natural Flood Management – Inishowen’. The project focuses on the Clonmany area of Inishowen.
You can read more about the project in the About section of this website and keep up-to-date on the News page.
